I wonder if Illinois Nut will send me out a gift certificate and let me give them the numbers over the phone. Anyone try this?

I don't mean when you are there locally. I mean to order over the internet.

So how is it that in the whole Boston people can only find one store to buy ugly clogs and no one can find anything else?

I've been searching online for a few minutes. I'm trying to find somewhere that sells gift cards online, with a minimum of $10. I found a few places so far that sold but the min was $25.

I did a bunch of $10 transactions at Fantes.com on 6/30.
Today I got an email saying:

Thank you for your order.
We usually process orders within a couple business days, however, due to the July 4th holiday, your order is scheduled to be processed and shipped on Friday, July 6th.
Rest assured that your credit card will not be charged until we process and ship your order.

I wrote back that I only want them to charge my card if they can do it ASAP before July 4th. Note: They are closed on Mondays (every week) and they are closed this Weds. for July 4th!!!!

chaimmayer · « **Reply #132 on:** July 02, 2012, 12:01:45 PM »

oh no! I see I also got the email. Think we should cancel the order and order from somewhere else?

Can you call in store and have them process it today over the phone?

I wonder if Square would work like it did for Small Business Saturday.

MarkS · « **Reply #135 on:** July 02, 2012, 12:14:26 PM »

Please respond ASAP!!!

They responded:

I'm sorry, but we are unable to charge a credit card until the order is ready to be shipped. I will cancel your orders as requested.

They are closed today and can't be reached by phone.

Me too!
I got thrown off because it has a credit from the hat box but when you click for details it explains it's from amex.
In previous promos like sbs and twitter deals I seem to recall the statement posting credit from amex.

Do amex prepaid cards work for these promos? I just got my amex prepaid cards for the $25 bonus and wonder if I can use it for these promos.

+1 does anyone know?
