[Mgs] Victoria British Gift Card charge

[Larry Daniels]

Carl, I can't say what VB does with their card, but don't you just love it 
when, in addition to using your money for free until you (or whomever) 
purchase something with it, they take away a certain percentage of it's 
value if you don't use it up fast enough for their liking.  It's like they 
just can't think of enough ways to screw you.

A critical mistake, I would say, when their typical customer is old enough 
to remember being treated like a valued customer rather than just another 
victim.

Always remember -- there are other places to shop.

Can anyone explain why when you order a gift certificate for someone YOU get
charged $8.00 (for a $50.00 card in this case).

Does anyone else do this?

Their attitude about it was;

"That's our policy."
"That's the way we have always done it."

Can anyone defend this?

Can anyone give me a reason to shop with them after this?

Sorry for venting here.
