Here is a wall, you probably will get better results talking to it

No one here cares  😤

A lot of people have this issue, including myself, and I haven't seen that anyone has gotten it fixed yet. If you search for "Unable to process your redemption request" you'll find the posts from other people.

 my friend is having the same issue and called rewards. They were less then helpful and said they'll open an escalation which takes 3-5 days.

O ordered 5 gift cards weeks ago... in addition to not being able to redeem any points, they said it would be escalated.  TWICE now I got the same response in chats.  They also said they cant refund me the money since the transaction "went thru".

Im giving them until Monday then Im fighting the charge with my credit card company and wont ever buy another one here again.

@MemberS2006 I am so sorry, and completely understand your frustration! However, in order to complete the escalation, and resolve your issue, we do need more information. I'll reach out to you in a private message, or you can contact the Ombudsman team to help them resolve the issue also. I apologize for the inconvenience, but thanks for reaching out!  Jodee R.

This reply “they'll open an escalation which takes 3-5 days “

is a cop-out. They have no intention 

of trying to fix this. 🤮🤮🤮

After all they created this mess
