Bed Bath and Beyond WARNING!

Oh dang that's dumb! I would be mad too!

Wow that is crazy!! when they are always pushing them in the store. i don't even shop there any more.

What!!! That's crazy, I think just because of this I wouldn't want to do business with them anymore!

Oh wow. I am so sorry you ran into that hiccup. That can be very frusterating. Bed Bath & Beyond didn't last long here in our Mall, the manager said the company was going bankrupt. I didn't know there were any remaining after that. I hope you get things squared away.

I sent a nasty email a couple weeks ago over the ordering mishap. I'm not looking up a phone number to complain about the consolidation crap. That just sounds like BULL#$&! to me.

Oops, typo... *NOW looking up a phone number.

I have trouble typing when I'm angry. lol

Thanks for the info. I had no idea (although FH and I don't have to worry because we live in OH and don't have that type of problem) I like to order stuff on line.

I have a solution for you though. You can purchase gift cards with other gift cards on line. so you take $25's and make a $50, two $50's to make $100, and two $100 to make $200. I know it's annoying and a lot of effort, but it can be done (I just tried :-D ). Then you can use two $200's to get you stuff. :-D

I still think that is bull and if I were you I would call corporate and they might combine the gift card(s) for you (at least to $200s - some companies have a maximum gift card tender policy). If they say they cant, then you tell them that you are posting your problems here and have changed a whole website full of women from registering there and switching to JCP or the like. That will change their mind quicker. And just keep asking for supervisors.

Thanks Jessie! That is helpful and will be tedious (with 21 gift cards) but may be my final option. I tried to do that in the store and they wouldn't let me. Jerks.

JUST CALLED THE GIFT CARD HOTLINE AND THE STUPID STORE PEOPLE (including the Manager) LIED TO ME! THEY CAN CONSOLIDATE YOUR CARDS. Effing jerks. They probably saw my stack and were like "umm, no."

NP. I know that is irritating, but it is a solution, seems better than the alternatives, and the gift card shipping is free. If you don't mind, I have another solution for you, maybe. How much $ total did you get for BB&B? I have an idea.

We have about $800 worth right now.

That there says you can put up to $1000 on one, so if you can't get the store to consolidate them, then I would call/write this department. Then you just say you are giving away and $800 gift card as a raffle for some random thing and need one with that much on it and have all of these cards to combine :-D

Again, not a perfect solution, but a solution none the less.

Perhaps you could go to a different BB&B, or you could mail them to someone you trust, like mom, and have her do it at the one back home. Sorry you are having all of these problems!!

That really stinks and I could not imagine that you couldn't use more than 2. I think Jessi Lyn's idea is GREAT.

Wow, i was able to conslidate mine in the store with no issue to buy what I had to get online. I have never had an issue in my local store. So sorry.

I dont know if you cam but purchase a gift card in store for the total amount you have & use the multiple gift cards to buy it

BBB and Buy Buy Baby are sister stores, and just a thought...Buy Buy Baby lets your order "online only" items at the store via phone, and they ship it free to your house. BBB might do that to (they're owned by the same company).

I didn't relate that info to the topic lol- it's been a long day! You could use multiple gift cards in-store and order your item shipped to your house this way.

FH and I got about $350 in gift cards--all different denominations and did not have any problem using them all at once in the store.
