Hi Everyone,
Well, it turns out that QVC sent the same $50.00 gift certificate 5 times. lol.
I certainly didn't expect $250.00 from this family, as I know they
don't have it, and the fact that it is a $50.00 gift certificate is
just fine with us. ,smile>
I called them and thanked them, and David told me if I can get
$250.00 out of a $50.00 gift certificate, go for it! lol.
He said they only charged him $50.00 for the $50.00 gift certificate,
so QVC just had sent it five times, that's all. ,smile>
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
