$1000 worth of $50 continental gift cards!!
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:30:28 PM »
Help!! I bought $1000 in continental gift cards in $50 denominations and I just found out that you cannot use more than one gift card per continental flight!. Does anybody have any good ideas how to get rid of them? I will try ebay for now ::) Thanks!

Maybe call them up and explain, I would think they would at least break it up for you.

The CSR manning these lines, are supposedly much better, than the basic numbers.

Called Continental twice ; spoke to the supervisor and manager they both said you cant use more than one per flight and you cannot combine gift cards. Is there any way to deposit them into a gift registry? If not any other ideas before I try selling them on ebay?

It may be more worth it to sell to pj than to sell on ebay.

I spoke to a travel agent. Basically she said that its not worth the effort for them as the have to issue the ticket twice if there is a gift card etc..
