grr. just had a gift card company, from a rebate, tell me that "good through 10/14" didn't include yesterday; and that I really should have used it

sooner to be safe. this was a supervisor, and his boss "doesn't take calls" and the email address given was clearly a general one.

the card's value is still there (it's the kind where fees will start to be taken without use), but they won't replace it without a 6.95 fee being taken.

I tried to use the card yesterday, but couldn't. (yah I probably should have used it earlier, but dude shouldn't have said it. ;p nothing in the materials with it said anything about morning, and it actually says funds don't expire right on it.)
