Steve, During your phone call did you mention those 3 points to them? I mentioned those same exact 3 points because I am in the same boat where I have some pending for someone who traded/purchased prior to being redeemed. I also have one where I traded with a member here where he has a pending redemption for me. Do they replace the card with something he collects? Do they even ask him? Will the deal sum up by me giving up $xx for a hot card only to wait 6 months and receive trash?
I also mentioned that there is no such thing as a fair deal to the customer if it involved more then 1 replacement card for 1 redemption. If I have a pending $300 redemption from 2005/06 that was and still is considered a "hot card", i do not want (4) $75 cards, I also do not want a 3 year old card that has a bloated bv that no one wants.
Steve, when you mentioned all of this did you actually hear what I was told? When I mentioned what I said above, they basically stopped me in my tracks about the 1 for 1 deal because their high end replacement supply is depleted. This is why I keep hinting that absolute chaos is about to come about over the next 30 days. If they are already saying their high end replacement supply is depleted prior to even starting this mass replacement mission we are all in for a world of trouble. I have full intentions of sending back any card I did not agree to accept as a replacement.
