Because I have to say, I'm rather a fan of those rules.
I think they are completely different rules. The one is a money laundering rue and has nothing to do with the onerous charges/neglect some companies were attempting with gift cards.

Sorry I have no idea what you are talking about as such things have nothing to do with the potential use of cards for money laundering. Perhaps you are just being sarcastic due to some other personal gripe you have with a card issuer(s)?
Nope, no sarcasm. The "long-term records" argument was used by several big companies to oppose the rules I mentioned when they were being debated. Basically, the corporate argument amounted to saying that it was inconvenient to keep unused gift cards on the books, so they should be allowed to continue devaluing them after a certain length of time - often 24 months, but sometimes as little as a year. Some companies would flat-out zero the cards as soon as they expired, while others took a more gradual approach of deducting a certain amount from the balance every month until the cards reached zero.

To make this more concrete, say you buy a $100 gift card for someone and they forget about it for three years. They then take it to the store to use it and - oh, too bad! It expired last year, or maybe it's only worth $76 now because of a $2/month service fee.

The government rejected that argument and outlawed those practices as a consumer protection measure - saying that since you took their money, you have to honor the gift card you sold them. Now, that $100 gift card is always worth $100, until either you use it or the company folds and there's nobody to honor it.

Now, if that's not what you were talking about, that's fine. I just tend to get a little twitchy these days when I hear complaints about Big Mean Government imposing evil rules, especially to regulate Job-Creating Corporations. Most of the time I hear that kind of talk, a little digging reveals that the rules are nowhere near as horrible as they've been made out to be, and may even help ordinary people. That was certainly the case in this instance.

Okay, I'm not averse to groveling (that sounds better than "begging," doesn't it?) shamelessly when there is something that I want . . . .

Does anyone have a high-value code (say 55% or up) that they would be willing to share, pretty please?

I'm not greedy--I just want one little-bitty high-value code. If you can help me, please PM me. If I get more than one code, I'll refuse the other ones so that other people may have them.

Thank you, my good friends.

That's too bad.

am i right in thinking that a uk comp code will not work in canada or hk or anywhere else for that matter?

I cant get a code to work on Murakami's latest as the uk is not allowing codes to be used on it. If i get a high code anyone want to trade a uk one for a Canadian one? #struggle

tried and failed to use one of my codes in Canada on said book.

maybe I am wrong, but I think that the Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is not eligible for coupons in Canadian shop

All but two of mine have been 20%. And, since I've gotten two "Come Back" 25% codes in my email, I didn't think they were worth posting.

I did get one 35% and one 30% code, but I used them myself.

Anyway, one more to go!
