Available Gift Card Discussion

[andrewtoo]

For available gift cards to redeem in the online catalog and gift card discussion.

Other reward postings are welcome as well, however, no links to newsletter deals are allowed by the forum.

 did they give back the wasted redemption? With only 3 per month it would be a waste of 1/3 of monthly reward redemption.

[MicheleW321192]

They didn't give it back.

[SereneSeagull]

That bites!

[dv2286]

I just checked and I did get an adjustment.  Does this mean that we can keep the TJ Maxx card or is it now invalid?  Wish someone would have emailed everyone to what is going on with this error.

[SereneSeagull]

Try calling the number for gift card balance and see.  They probably deactivated the card id think. But you got back the points it seems, no Panera given to you I take it?

[MicheleW321192]

Great suggestion. I just checked the TJ Maxx website for gift card balance and it shows $5.00 available. 

[SereneSeagull]

Then happy holidays to you!  In a heartbeat.  Their mistake your compensation.

[MicheleW321192]

It looks like they pulled the card.

[dv2286]

I hope they send all of us that wanted a Panera card the card we ordered.

[SereneSeagull]

That would be justified as well

[Barbisme]

Welp - clicked on the Panera & redeemed - but they sent me a TJMax instead LoL!!! AND the email has the Panera Logo on the gc description, but the text has TJMAX! LOL - think somebody goofed a copy/paste or something. Bummer - really really wanted the Panera!

  @Barbisme 
 Letting you know I see a Panera back again.  Hopefully good.  

[MicheleW321192]

Thanks, tried to get it but couldn't because of the prior flub for the TJ Maxx card I didn't want.

[SereneSeagull]

Because it counted against your 3 per month?

[MicheleW321192]

I just got an adjustment to my account for 18,000 points!

[SereneSeagull]

@MicheleW321192   letting you know I see Panera back again.  Hopefully good

[SereneSeagull]

That’s good.  👍

[je1020]

Happened to me too,  Hope AARP corrects this error and sends us the card we bought with our points.

[SereneSeagull]

@je1020  Back up there again

[dv2286]

Same here, wish it could be exchanged for the Panera Bread, or get points back.

[SereneSeagull]

@dv2286

Back up there

[MicheleW321192]

Same here.

[SereneSeagull]

Oh wow! That would make me mad.  

Edit to add:  Did it show up correctly in the redemption transaction dashboard?

[MicheleW321192]

Transaction history shows TJ Maxx for me.

[SereneSeagull]

That’s annoying for sure.  

[Barbisme]

Me too, shows up as TJ Max in transaction history - also bummed that it counts for my 2nd of 3 monthly redemptions!

[SereneSeagull]

I would hope that would get rectified ASAP as some folks using these as gifts.

[SereneSeagull]

Just saw this now.

Outback Steakhouse eGift Card

17,000 Points

$5 Value

[SereneSeagull]

This Outback card does not come up on Search by Points alone, nor on the Dining and Points in your filtering. At least on the app.  

[rednexsrus]

How do you go about finding these little nuggets ??
Do you just think of a vendor & just do a search on that one vendor.

i did not find the OUTBACK 😫 even though I keep those.

I keep searching on Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, Kroger, Home Depot, etc etc etc. no luck yet
