Really sorry for you. I hope you can recover your loss.
I think something like this would really catch people’s attention:
WARNING!!!CardCash guarantees gift card’s value for 45 days after purchase. After 45 days you should assume your balance will be drained and your cards will be worthless.
Agree. People may not realize the serious consequences from the current simple disclaimer.
My feeling is that the way the current disclaimer is written, most people just gloss over it. If it would be elaborated some way similar to above, the risk involved would be more obvious to people.
This problem has nothing to do with CC it's like this with any GC.
Some stuff just need common sense.
I don't think this is "common sense". This is not a rule/risk that is obvious to the average innocent buyer.
Who in the world buys gift cards unless it's with an intended immediate use?
Indeed. And the most frustrating situations in life are when we realize that we have no one to blame but ourselves (which happens to be the case in more than 99% of the time).
A little empathy wouldn't hurt.
