One of the rare cases where no gift would have been better

especially since the gift card provided doesn’t work. “here’s a 10 dollar giftcard for our screw up…also it doesn’t work…go fuck yourself”

Nice to see I wasn’t the only one who saw it that way.

I can't believe this isn't satire. I hope these incompetent fuckers get sued into bankruptcy

sanpo ,

I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?

iAmTheTot ,

You haven’t heard? Satire is well and truly dead.

David_Eight ,

There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.

I straight up thought it was satire. How can you be so fucking detached. Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history, probably billions in losses, and then be like “my bad lol here’s a giftcard”.

I cackled loudly. $10 won’t even buy a meal at McDonald’s most places.

My first reaction was to look for the onion

deranger ,

$10 to Uber eats, so basically it’s covering fees only.

dinckelman ,

Not only that, but usually to activate these cards, you have to spend upwards of double what the card is worth too, and the fees cannot be included in the total

verity_kindle ,

Like amzn, they make sure you get minimum joy, even from a gift, because you’re going to spend a chunk of mom’s gift card balance on shipping. The “shipping included on sub total of X amount” is going to be cancelled by online retailers within a year, I’m calling it now. Are we sure that cheapstrike and amzn aren’t run by the same AI, one that self awareness drove mad?

Give them some time. They have to manually reboot the gift card servers.
