Stupid CC and GC policy

[AmpedSilence]

I bought two DS games with a GC i had for CC, but it turned out that my brother got me those exact games for Christmas.

Last night i went to return those games and, as expected, I got a GC back. Not a problem. I saw that C&C3 was on sale at BB, so I price matched and bought that in its place.

Total Returned - $31.70
Cost of Game - $31.48

Left on GC - $0.22

WTF AM I GOING TO DO WITH A 22 CENT GC? I know some places have a policy that if the amount left on the GC is less than a dollar they just give you the change. NO, not CC. SO annoying.

Give it to him to help cover the 23 cent shortage.

I remember when you used to get cash back man those were the days. I cannot imagine the fortune companies make on gift cards not used or not used all the way.

When there is only a couple of bucks left on the gift card, just hand it to the person behind you in the checkout line for them to use.

This has to be one of the dumbest rants I've ever read.

 

[meltdown75]

dumb rant with way too many acronyms. annoying.

Why not just use it on your next purchase? You know you will buy something from CC in the future.

It is $0.23. I would just throw it away. To be honest, all of my purchases at CC have been over $10, so why use that at all? I'll always have more than enough money on me and plus, that splits the tender making it difficult for unskilled/impaired employees to return the item if need be that is.

Connecticut recently passed a law requiring stores to refund GC balances of less the $5 in cash if requested ... doesn't help you much I'm afraid.

PA and pretty much every other state needs to do that...

This is a parody thread, right?

OMG $.22.....that gonna break the bank for you?

What...next time you need something there, you can't apply the $.22 towards it?

CT ruelz with consumer protection.
Our Gift Cards cannot expire either, nor can they depreciate. Nor can a business advertise a product as "FREE (after rebate)" unless they give you the rebate at time of purchase.

parody thread or not, i find it believable that CC or its employees would refuse (or even call the cops) over a customer attempting to use two different sources of tender.

Uh.. spend it? You can use more than one method of payment when making a purchase.

Do you have a brother?
You could write $100 on it and send it to him.
Just make sure he posts here about yelling at CC employees when they don't give him $100.

For those who don't "get it".
