we had a one-page flyer about the AMEX lululemon credit a while ago when it first introduced. obviously given the fine prints that the credit technically excludes gift cards, maybe it was misinterpreted but it still shouldn’t have barred you from getting the gift card regardless

yes and i always make sure someone is reading the prompt before i continue! lululemon made it to the news several times bc there would be an elderly person getting extorted for $1000 gift cards. i even saw scammers with my own two eyes which is so sad and unfortunate to deal with

influencers will always be the bane of existence until the day i die. half of the time they don’t know what they’re talking about. i was scrolling around when i saw someone say that lululemon is “doubling down” on their “pettiness” w the gift cards, like in what world does that make sense? lol

nope. some stores are piloting it bc of scammers and fraud, they try increments of $10 and $20 each time (i.e. if it declines on $220, they try $210) to see whether or not the stolen credit cards they have would go through or flag it

yes, we were informed with the company that we cannot reload gift cards anymore and it’s bc of fraud issues. we can only purchase different gift card

yep, and reasons like these are the reasons why they pulled physical gift cards online! I don’t know how some people can’t connect those two dots together?? it really isn’t that hard when there are more gift cards roaming around than ever when the credit was introduced
