$5 Cash Back on $10+ eGift card purchase at Chili's

begunn said:   Haven't heard from any Mods recently so it looks like we'll just have to fill out support tickets on day 14.
I'm guessing if you ordered and received a $10 gift card, but didn't get cash-back the credit card company will tell you to contact the merchant.
Not sure how difficult it would be to cancel orders and obtain a refund

good luck, next to impossible for this sort of reason. GC's generally are non-refundable.

MODS/HAWPI, please update with what's going on. The silence is a little disconcerting. Thought another batch of reporting was supposed to come in. Have 2 order from 12/17 or 18 that never reported.

I agree with your statement, several other posters had suggested requesting a refund (from the merchant?).
No intention of doing that myself, but will certainly be very hesitant to jump on another deal like this if we don't get CB in the end.

let's face it, the CB offer was on the FW page, NOT the chili's page. I doubt they are going to cancel hundreds of e-gc's for those that never got their CB reported.

Feel sorry for those who bought 40 or 50 of the egc's and may not get their CB. Good luck getting Chili's to refund/cancel 50 Gift Cards.

no stiffing the server to accomplish that. your way SUCKS!

Not giving the server a tip is not stiffing anyone.
And tell them why, they can take it up with Chilis.
If they need more money thy can always get another job.If you don't want to tip the server for good service, you can always eat at home or fast-food.

So if I do not tip I can expect bad service, what restaurant condones that?
How does the server know ahead of time who tips and how much?

I don't have an update yet. Definitely still expecting more reporting, but I'm not sure when. Trying to find out what the hold up is, but with Christmas there have been a lot of folks out from every direction.

RE:
someone got me sick

Was it Chilis ?

BBL, I am having issues with Radio Shack claiming they have HTC One V's right now.
They tell me they do not have them....
I send others into buy and they get them.

Got all 4 out of 4. Thanks!

Still nothing for me. With only 1 more round of reporting to go, my faith in FW is diminishing but the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

Still 0 for 3 purchased on the 15th.

Now I have one of five (too).

I had purchased 4 and all 4 posted to my account today! =)

yeah still missing 2 of 4

Pulling the offer early is perfectly acceptable... just like any program, there is a set budget. If the offer sells out faster than they thought, you shouldn't be expecting them to just pony up more money into the program. Same as when Best Buy sells out of some laptop. Nobody actually expects them to go in the back room and make more.

Now, as for NOT PAYING the offer... that's another story, and if FW isn't able make good on the advertised offer, I recommend you all contact the BBB and/or your Attorney General. It's not appropriate behavior to offer something, then reneg on it after the money is in the drawer.

Purchased on 12/17, all clicks tracked, 25% CB now pending.

True in principle, but the offer was pulled after a couple days when it was originally supposed to last the whole month. THAT is what's ridiculous. If the budget for the program ended that quickly, that is very poor estimation/planning on the part of the bean counters in charge. As someone said earlier, it was effectively a 50% discount on the gift card. C'mon, obviously people are going to jump hard on a deal like that.
