Theft

I was hounded on the phone by a sales person and pressured into accepting a Procard. I told the person that I would have no use for it in the foreseeable future. I was assured that the money I had to pay upfront R1400.00 would always be available to me. No mention that if the card expires so does my money. After considerable pressure, I accepted with the idea that I would use it at my leisure. Last year I tried to use it to pay for a hotel booking, there were stories and complications and it could not be used. I wanted to use the money this month to eat out at a restaurant, but ALAS, my card expired and my money apparently too. I think this is simply theft.
