Don't be fooled into thinking this is your average print and walk in to the store 'gift card' because it is not. You won't see anything posted to that effect before you checkout either. The recipient of your well thought of gift card can ONLY USE THIS GIFT CARD ONLINE.
Here's what happened. Mom lives in a town where there is no Chapters/Indigo but there is a Coles. Google a Coles Gift Card and you are brought to Chapters (wonder why). You see ONLINE Gift Card for $50 dollars, you think "hey that's great..and soooooo easy." But then, Mom calls and thanks you for it until she goes to Coles and they say, "uh...sorry, we don't honour those as they are for online purchases only".
Then Mom gets the good news!!! THE SHIPPING COST IS GREATER THAN THE 50 DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE.
Can you say had, taken, scammed...that's right...they "f" you at the drive thru.
As I made this purchase I read all the info THEY wanted me to read at the time of purchase and nowhere on the purchase pages is any of this made clear to the buyer. They take advantage of the 'buyer be-ware' clause. Fooled ya!! Now, let's see you try and get your money back from them. Another case of a bully conglomerate using it's influence and might to stick it to the average unsuspecting shopper.
