loves30 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 ok so im looking for suggestions.. my son got a 50.00 i tunes gift card from my sister and her husband. so i asked for the recipt so i can take it back as he wont be able to use this. no problem they mail it to me.. im reading it, says right on it cant return phone cards or gift cards. that is just wrong. i understand how my son got the gift. nice of them to think of him.. but now what do i do . i called wawa the girl was clueless offered me the 800 number to wawa. and was like umm ohh ummmm . this was my conversation with her..brain dead. help any ideas .. my sister doesnt have 50.00 to throw away and i would hate to see this go to wast.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Can you try to trade it with someone for a GC he would use? Why won't he use it does he not download music?? You could try selling it on Ebay and giving him the cash...Not sure how much it would get but I sold a Gymboree GC once and it got 102.xx for a 105 card HTH
loves30 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 humm that is a idea.. no he wont down load. he has what he wants already, see my sister was running short of gifts and the card was for someone else as she put it to me .. so she moved some gifts arround to make it easy for her. which is fine.. i just dont understand why u cant return it if you have a recipt and u paid cash and have not used it. makes no sense.. then again i guess that is why i dont do gc lol... the ebay thing might work.. he loves to shop on there lol i might try that thanks
mom2monkiesx3 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I assume they don't take GC/phone cards back because they'd have to call and validate they hadn't actually been used. AND some people could write down the numbers and try to use them after they were returned...I am not sure they can "unvalidate" them?!?
loves30 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 ahhhhh... well i will call the corprate.. see if i can get anyplace withthem on monday.. if not i guess ebay it is .. and i will tell my sister to never ever buy a gc from there again lol.... thanks for all your help...
fierymyst Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 you could also try craig's list to avoid all those ebay fees
kdion03 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 There are alot of gift cards selling on ebay. It's a thought.
conj Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 you could put it up for trade here to see if someone has a 50GC to somewhere he might use.
lauras74 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 My daughters (5 & 6) received gift cards to Aeropostale for Christmas. Since they aren't able to wear clothes from there I e-mailed some friends to see if anyone was interested in either trading or buying the gift cards. I was able to unload the gcs for face value within 30 minutes of sending out the e-mail. Maybe you could try something like that? Laura
loves30 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 wow... we can trade on here?? lol lmao gosh im so new to this lol .. regift is also another i dea .. but then i have to come up with a gift for him. and im trying not to do that . as im spent lol.. i do like the idea of trade and selling on craigs list. but craigs list and i are not getting along .. i have offered so many things on there and noone shows up. i have two items on there right now. and well its been a wk .was giving someone my dryer. said they were coming yesterday gave all my info no show. and to think i was selling it and offered it to this person for free. anyway bad topic lol wow u guys are so good to me. thanks
EYGLE Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 You could also try to find a friend who has a teen and see if they would buy it. I know that most of the kids here use I Tunes.
amyers12345 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Isn't there a GC exchange website? I remember hearing something about it after the holdiays last year. You are able to go trade cards you can't use with someone.
