Target sent me a $25 e-giftcard due to Britax car seat cancellation!

[thewilfords]

Just got an email for Target.com with a $25 e-giftcard to apologize for the pricing error and cancellation of my Britax order! Woo Hoo! That makes up for it somewhat!

[zookeeperagn]

WOW! Did you call them about it, or did they just send you one? I'm wondering if I should have made more noise about it - even though I hate dealing with cs. lol

So did I and I didnt do anything but "yell" about it on here.. hahaha Wonder if they have a pending lawsuit or something because it says by using this GC you are agreeing to be completely satisfied with the outcome blah blah blah. !!!

I called and complained. I even called corporate guest services. I called like 5 times about it. My friend who complained just checked and she did not get one yet either, but I am wondering if they are being sent out in waves just like the cancellations were. I did threaten legal action, and there is wording that if I use it, I release them. Here is part of it:

on all of our merchandise. Our teams will continue to monitor our

for your experience, we'd like to provide you a $25 e-GiftCard to use

on Target.com. Please use the following unique e-GiftCard number when

placing your next order

 

By redeeming this e-GiftCard, you acknowledge full satisfaction and

to be given the opportunity to serve you again as a Target.com guest.

 

Just in time for the BF online sales! Nice!

That's actually pretty cool of them. I wonder if they will do the same for the Toro Snow Thrower people?

No expiration date on mine. But, here in RI it is illegal to have an expiration date or charge fees on giftcards.

I didnt see an expiration date.. I bet we can use it whenever.. I cant imagine them putting restrictions on it. I flagged it so incase there is a question I can send them the email. This was a nice gesture.. but I am suspicious... I wonder if they had a class action suit threatened because we have all had things canceled last year and I sure didnt get 25.00. Maybe it is because they did apparently send a couple out before it was caught. *shrug*

I just got one, too! Not as awesome as the Britax "deal," but still a pretty great thing for them to do. I wonder if I'll get a second one since I placed 2 orders (one through Target the other through Amazon)? I'm not trying to be greedy, and I'm more than thrilled I got one... I'm truly just curious.

My hubby made a good point that after their markup on stuff this is not costing them much money to do, and it also may spur spending on the site in the next week. They did do this just in time for the BF/CM online deals. So, they give us $25 to get us to go spend more!

Very cool that they did that.
