Dundrum Shopping Tokens

    I got this in an email this morning from a friend of mine and found it interesting as I shop there regularly and was planning to avail of some of these tokens as Xmas pressies this year....

    I was given some gift tokens for Dundrum Shopping Centre recently and
    found out some interesting information about their "Schedule of Fees"
    (yes you read correctly!) for their new "GiftCard" scheme (aka plastic
    gift token).

    Basically when you buy one of these new "GiftCards" you are CHARGED a
    "MAINTENACE FEE" of EUR3 PER MONTH for the privilege of having the
    "GiftCard". You are charged this fee every month (its deducted from the
    money you put on the card), from the second month after the card was
    purchased and until the card balance reaches ZERO! (Unless you have paid
    an "INSURANCE FEE" at the time of purchase - whatever next insurance for
    gift tokens!) In other words if you bought a card at the beginning of
    the year for say EUR40 and didn't use it til the end of the year you'd
    have very little left as most of it would go on the maintenace fee!!


    If you don't believe me check out www.mygiftflexcard.com for their terms
    and conditions!!

    You might want to remember this if you are considering buying one of
    these cards for Christmas etc., especially as it appears that other
    stores who operate card based gift tokens e.g. Brown Thomas and Roches
    Stores do not have such a "MAINTENANCE FEE"!!.

    PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!!

    The cards are a joke, you can buy paper gift certs that cover the entire centre without having any silly charges stuck onto it, also the An Post "One for all" vouchers work in the majority, if not all, stores down in the Dundrum Town Centre.
