    Hello my name is Rebecca,
    I found a claim certificate you mailed quite awhile ago. Is it still valid? I Couldn’t find an expiration date on it. We now have a store in our town. Please let me know I don’t want to take to the store if it has expired.

    Thank you,
    Rebecca Ackley

    So I received a certificate good for $7.50 but it can be used only AFTER August 20, 2017. So are they hoping that by providing a certificate almost 6 months in advance of when it’s eligible for use, that customers would misplace it, or forget about it and therefore, the company never has to make good on the deal for many customers? VERY STRANGE!
