I received a Reward Debit card for purchasing XXXX tires for my car. It is a VISA Card issued through Citi. I left it in the envelope for a period of time and when I called to activate the card and was informed that it had expired and that it had a 6 month use it or loose it date. I purchased the tires in XXXX and the card expired XXXX. I did some research on a couple of websites including Wisconsin XXXX XXXX and found the information that states : " Cards given as a reward or as part of a promotion for making a purchase can expire in XXXX year. The expiration date must be clearly disclosed on the card ''. I called Citi back and talked to supervisor XXXX agent number XXXX and talked to him about my findings on the website and he informed me to go ahead and file a complaint if that 's what i wanted to do, and that Citi 's policy is no re-issues are given. I also talked to him about the XXXX XXXX XXXX web page that had a complaint from this past XXXX against Citi for a similar problem and everything that he said to me is the same as what was told to that consumer as well. XXXX said again go ahead and file the complaint if that was my choice but they would not be making any payment to me so that is what i am doing. I am probably not the only one that has had this happen and would really like to see this practice ended.
