Received a $50 gift card as an incentive - was told to immediately register it - in case of loss or theft. Followed the instructions - Today I went to use it and note that it has no balance.
I called the number on the website and the agent said that as soon as it was registered they began deducting a fee and the fee ate up the entire balance. When I said gift cards are not supposed to expire the agent advised - it didn't expire it just no longer has a balance.
This is a scam - the retailer or consumer or business purchases a gift card and pays for it - the company advises them to tell the individual to register immediately - - and they take the money back - - - OR IN OTHER WORDS - - DOUBLE DIPPING and the recipient ends up with nothing.
I do not think this is the way an incentive for the consumer is supposed to work - - RECIPIENTS BEWARE
COMPANIES INCENTIVIZING THEIR EMPLOYEES OR COMPANIES INCENTIVIZING THEIR CUSTOMERS - - BEWARE - - THIS IS A SCAM
NO ONE IS RECEIVING AN INCENTIVE JUST THE CARD ISSUER WHO IS TAKING THE MONEY - AT ISSUANCE AND THEN FROM THE RECIPIENT.
BAD BUSINESS - UNETHICAL - - FRAUDULENT
