Geoff Settle Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Low down on the Gift Card - 'Don't forget, you can always top-up your WHSmith Gift card at any time' "Any balance will remain on your WHSmith Gift Card for you to use next time you visit' Date of purchase 04/11/2005 Terms & Conditions: 6. ... The maximum card limit is 1,000 pounds. 7. If unused for 24 months, this card will expire and the balance will be deducted. A balance enquiry is not considered use. I reckon you'd be rather upset if you had topped it up and lost it for 25 months... mine was 27 months. I don't think this can be classed a good customer care, especially as I can't read it without my glasses. It was bought in good faith and should be accepted in good faith by WHSmith. Thansk to all who support my view it's appreciated I have just sent a note to the BBC Watchdog program because if it bothers me it bothers others much more.

JayC Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Geoff. While I have some sympathy for you and the person who's money was wasted now at least you will read the small print. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I must be loosing the plot because I've just been on line and tried buying a ?25 W H Smith gift voucher. I did exactly what I would have done on the understanding that these vouchers are just like cash. I saw no warnings about time limits. However when I checked the terms and conditions I found this:- "There is no time limit by which the voucher must be used." So who's kidding who on this?

kateoflymm Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Originally posted by JayC: Kate. While I agree somewhat , small print is small print its there to be read , would you ignore the small print on an insurance policy or an ISA etc, so why ignore it on a gift voucher. John An Insurance Policy is almost like a bet. Both you and the Insurers are gambling on the hope that you won't be burgled, lose your roof tiles, be flooded out etc. An ISA is also a risk as it's dependent on the Market. Buying a gift voucher is not insuring against any event or hoping to accumulate interest. It is a straight forward transaction whereby you pay in advance for an item to be obtained in the future. The small print shouldn't contain any time limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Kate. But if it does and you haven't read it who is to blame, I am not saying its right but if its states it as such in the small print who is a fault you for not reading (or Geoff in this case) or the vendor.

Bill Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I just noticed the small print on one of my fivers. It says:- "I promise to pay the bearer ?5. This offer ends Jan 2008" [ 19.02.2008, 17:44: Message edited by: Bill ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
