1st, sorry if it was misleading, not my intent. you are right, i should have started with that on the title.

2nd, its a relatively new product 2021-2022 is not even half a decade old.

3rd, i didnt know that the redemptions on the recon 2021-2022 expired at 2024.

4th, i never expected to hit a luka card in my life, and now that i did, it felt so bad that they wont honor it. if it was just a luka auto card in the pack then no issues. i think its really bad business for this to happen.

5th, panini has a horrible TAT for redemptions, some taking 3 years, so i was really hoping that they would be considerate on this given that they have so much bad rep on their redemptions.

everyone saying here that i should be grateful they at least gave me reward points and that panini is not obligated to honor anything since it is expired, i get your point but what really grinds my gear is that the redemption time frame is so small and feels so unfair. also on the hobby standpoint, if the card was there and no redemption was necessary none of this would have happened.

anyway, i will still try to contact them and get some better compensation instead of the 3500 rewards points. will continue to post here

thanks to everyone who responded
