Supp**** invalid gift cards

I bought R7500 worth of gift cards online from TFG for totalsports as a Christmas gift for our staff. Once purchased, they only sent me one of the gift cards. I called them and they told me it has to go to another department to be released but they will mark it as urgent as I requested to get them by the 16th of December when I initially paid for the gift cards. Once again, they don’t send all the vouchers. I had to made 3/4 phone calls, countless emails back and forth where the ticket constantly got marked as resolved when I had yet to receive my vouchers. After all the emails and phone calls I finally managed to give these gift cards to my staff, only to now hear that they are showing as INVALID IN STORE!!!! And now the store is requesting I call some other number to deal with another department to get the gift cards sorted out and I am actually at my wits end. I do not want to make any further phone calls or emails or anything. How difficult can it be to get 5 gift cards to work that were purchased online????? Very happy to take my money instantly but not send the correct working vouchers and now I’m expected to make a phone call, yet again, to a call centre.

At this stage I just want a refund for my gift cards and to never deal with the Foschini group again. Highly recommend that you avoid buying from this group.

Thank you Nikki. Gift cards purchased online on www.totalsports.co.za are e-gift cards & can, unfortunately, only be used for online purchase. Gift cards for in-store use are physical cards that can only be purchased in-store.We have asked our Head of Customer Services to look into the interactions with the Customer Services team & why this information was not provided to you during these interactions.
