Last month I shared with you about the following two gift card deals offered through Plum District:
$25 Target GC + $50 Restaurant.com GC for $22.50
$20 Starbucks Gift Card Plus Two Fandango Movie Tickets for $28
Unfortunately the company that originally offered these two deals through Plum District, called Digital Doorstep, filed for bankruptcy today. Last week Plum District sent out an email to everyone who bought this deal stating that they were reimbursing everyone. I am bringing this to your attention so that you can make sure you have been reimbursed your monies by Plum District. As far as I am aware Plum District issued a reimbursement whether you had already claimed your voucher on the Digital Doorstep website or not. If you had already used your voucher, chances are pretty good you do not have the gift cards coming to you. Therefore, once again, make sure to check under your plum district account for a refund. Personally I used credits to buy this offer and my credits are showing up as reimbursed underneath “Plum Dollars.” If you paid with a credit card you may want to check your credit card account online to make sure you have been reimbursed.
There are a lot of daily deal sites popping up lately and I want to assure you that I exercise extreme care in sharing their daily offers with you. I always take into consideration your feedback and if I hear negative feedback from a daily deal site I refrain from sharing any more deals offered by that site. Having said that, my experience has been that the sites Groupon, Living Social, Eversave and Plum District will make a situation like this right to their customers. Therefore I feel confident in continuing sharing with you any of the offers they may have available. But ultimately you must use your own judgement and take advantage of those offers you feel confident about.
