I received a gift card as a birthday gift. I didn't use it for couple of months since the website says it doesn't expire. When I tried to use it in a nike store (after picking items I wanted to buy), the cashier told me that I could only use it online. When I went to the online store, the card gave an error. I called customer services and after waiting for many minutes to speak to someone, and for that someone to speak to someone else... she told me that the card had expired, but that "I shouldn't worry" because they would issue me a new one.... which would take 3 - 5 days and she would call me to give me the new card number... The story is clear and honest.. The issue may seem to have been solved. BUT imagine buying a 'gift' for someone and him/her having to go through such a hassle to be able to use that gift?! This is not customer-centred service, it is organization-centred service! This was even clearer when the lady said she could only call me (and not email me) because she is a phone-agent. Apparently phone agents and email agents are different people sitting in different departments and the organisational system does not allow them to communicate with each other. Unbelievable! Awful, awful experience. I am never stepping into a nike store again.
