fucking Dell promo "gift cards" expire after 90 days. - jdc - 11-24-2014
Bought a TV in June with a $50 card promo, it expired in September.
Apparently its not a "gift card" per se, but a "coupon"
So it expires. So. Fucking. Stupid.

I believe my Newegg promo card also expired after a time, but it might have been a full year. Either way, made sure to use it within a few months.

"Gift" cards vary by state...

any chance you could call Dell and ask for a 1-time exception/extension?

Exactly. It is considered a coupon. Are there states that force coupons to remain valid in perpetuity? My Newegg gift cards don't expire either, but the promotional cards do expire.
