PS: The #Superstore #GiftCard helpline did indeed help! I had a small stack of these I'd gotten from meeting minimum purchase thresholds back in the day and had been saving them for a rainy day (or unaffordable inflation like now).
In #Canada, it is illegal for gift cards to expire, so I was shocked when I tried to use one and it wouldn't work … with some behavioural indications that perhaps I had acquired it in a non-legal fashion. 🙄
I was directed to contact the number on the back of the card the next day.
Well, they not only helped me with the one already refused, but we went through my entire stack: turns out they don't keep the serial numbers active in the database indefinitelt(???), and I had to submit photos of the front and back of each (one pic of all cards simultaneously was fine).
They have now all been replaced by digital #doppelgangers that ARE active and next time I go there, I can use them via my phone.
🙂
I am thankful they did the right thing with relatively minimal hassle. ❤️
