          JFC. I'm amazed at their level of self awareness though…

          I increasingly am exposed to character testing rorts.

          Understand that these are effectively tests of character. Doesn't realise or care they're failing them…

    Not necessarily, they may still honour them like Harris Scarfe. I'd probably try to use ASAP though…

      More like thanks greedy commercial landlords.

      • Landlords aren't it. Landlords would rather a stable commercial tenant paying a negotiated lower rent, than an empty shop making no money and driving rents further down in the area.

        • But in real life 'Vacancy tax': Calls to stop landlords from keeping shops empty

          "One of the great dilemmas we’ve got is that there is incentives for landlords to leave premises vacant rather than reduce rent," Ms Carnell said.
          "It’s simply because of the way banks value properties based on what the rent is."

          Why so many shops sit vacant

          The fact is, for some owners, it is better to leave a shop vacant and retain a notional but probably non-achievable rent than to test their banks by offering a tenant a lower rent that doesn’t justify the valuation relied on for loan facilities.

      • failing to keep up with market trends and adapting your business in a ever changing environment is why

  • What is the total value of the gift card?

    Try using it? There is no notice/s online or on social media saying any restrictions eg you need to buy 2x the amount etc. But don't delay or there likely will be in a few days.
    So if you want anything buy now? Otherwise charge backs or whatever. Unless you want to take the final option which is prepare to be listed as a creditor. :)

  • Depends.

    If you bought it with cash then you'll need to line up with rest of the unsecured creditors UNLESS the administrators say they will honor gift cards during administration (if they say that you better hurry otherwise you'll end up with picking from what is left being sold as suppliers might not resupply given the risk of non payment).

    If you bought it by credit card then your credit card company could reimburse you.

    Just call them tomorrow. If they say no you can't use it, quickly get down to a local store and try and buy something with it and hope it hasn't been communicated to the staff.

    I think the business is still trading as a going concern so you should be able to use it.

    Otherwise yes, try and claim it back through your bank like others have noted.

  • you are an unsecured creditor, you may get a portion back, nothing back, or all of it back

    An example, bought a whole bunch from Jeanswest clearance and used code for a further 50% off. Nothing fit so got refund at original clearance price.

    Hahahaha…. I love you, karma.

    Op is happy to berate workers of companies, then bitches when companies go into VA.

      Added to that, OP is happy to take free stock from supermarkets without paying for it over what seems to be a pricing error, and to get full refunds on something they only paid 50% for… and then wonders why companies go into VA.

    At a time when Australia has enjoyed relatively uncertain retail conditions, why would you choose to purchase a gift card from such a place. Apart from the clothes being average quality, it is unstylish, boring and you look terrible in their jeans. If you are younger than 18 I won't bother but if you are out of school you should appreciate what an amazing job you did wasting your youth as you now get around in unstylish jeanswest bootcut jeans rather than actual grown up clothes.

      Probably scammed gift cards at 50% off somehow and trying to cash in now.
