Hi All,
Just thought I'd try and see if anyone may want to buy a $680 Harvey Norman gift card? It expires 15 Feb 2025 so if anyone happened to be buying something at Harvey Norman soon anyway, if I could swap it for cash. TIA.

Can you buy something small and ask that they issue you a new card as change.
Stuff like this expiring is kinda BS. Thieves. I understand having debt on the book etc. But it should either have no expiry or 10 years or 100 years sort of thing. With inflation it's trending to $0 anyway...
A gift card with purchase having an expiry is a bit more understandable.
I don't think you should even have to buy something, could just try asking them to issue a new one with a longer expiry date.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.
Just so you know, if you go in store, they will happily extend it by 2 months. I've done it multiple times, no questions asked.
sonyxperiageek: Yeah it's only valid for 2 months since I bought the item that was offering a bonus gift card. So not long at all.
I see a new law will come into play from March next year saying gift cards have to have at least a 3 year expiry on them. https://www.stuff.co.nz/money/350412664/gift-cards-now-have-last-three-years
Mitre10 get around it by offering "Store Cards" with promos which have a much shorter expiry date than "Gift cards".

I don't know about the OP's case, but HN have been giving away "bonus cards" when you purchase something that qualifies. I think they only last 2 months, but have been told if you go in they will extend them for you. As it's a special offer resulting from a purchase, arguably it isn't a typical "gift card" in the normal sense. I don't know if these will be captured by the new law.
Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

Was hoping same amount.
Put yourself in a buyers shoes, why go through the hassle for no gain.

Yep - there needs to be a reasonable sweetener or incentive in there for the new owner.
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
