Apparently that's how they want to do things lately... Yes, I lost the $20. I feel like I should have just tried a "return without receipt" to see what they'd do, but I assumed they'd be able to look up the purchase on my account which would have the same result.
The whole voucher thing has been such a fiasco anyway. I can see why some people have just listed them for sale instead of using them - I might do the same if I don't think I'll use them up before they expire. First, it's in-store use only. Second, they divided them up in the stingiest way possible so instead of getting one nice item, you have to go to the outlet 7 separate times to get a small $ amount off before they all expire in a year? Well, 8 times if you want to use that last $1.48 ...so dumb. I suppose I can bring a friend or family member there with me sometime to use more of them, but the problem is that I usually stop by when running other errands by myself in the area.
Ok, end of rant, sorry all - have a good week everyone!
