They gave out $10 gift card ( they said either $10, $100, or $500 in a sealed envelope) to everyone, who was in the line waiting outside of the store on the Thanksgiving Eve), but of course most of the envelopes are 10bucks. I got one and my aunt gave me one. The 1st gift card was OK. For the second one, I waited in a long line to pay for my one item. After 40mins waiting, finally it was my turn to pay. The cashier scanned the gift card and told me it was USED!!! I couldn't open my mouth as the fact that I have never took it out of my purse since I got it! Plus, whenever they scan the gift card, they tear it off and trash it, how would customer still have it back to use it again! I told the cahier about it, she ignored it. One thing she told me was "I don't know! It shows that you have used it, and there is no way you can use the gift card!!!"
I was so disappointed about it! At first, I said "this is FALSE advertising, then later I think JC Penny didn't take time to activate all the gift cards, lots of them haven't been activate yet!
I do have account and the master card through JCPenney. I has planned to close the account and cancel all the credit cards (master) I have been having and plan not to come back to JC Penny anymore.
