Lost Ikea Gift Card - Help?!?
« on: September 05, 2012, 01:17:11 PM »
Hi All,

I had an Ikea gift card that was stolen from me and Ikea is giving me a hard time about replacing it. I still have the receipt and it is within the 90 days that all purchase are eligible for return.
Does anyone have any previous experience dealing with such a situation? The card amount was substantial  :'(

Thanks in advance!

Did you pay for the gift card with a credit card?

If so, you can try to get the money back from them.

From Starwood Amex's details:

"When something you buy is broken or stolen, it shouldn't be your problem. That's why if you use your Card for eligible purchases, they can be protected from accidental damage or theft for up to 90 days from the moment you buy them"

I believe things like that are specifically exempted.

Ikea is a pain in the neck to deal with.
