Isn’t it the worst thing ever when you finally get around to wanting to use those gift vouchers you have, only to pull them out and realize they’ve expired!?
Things have been so topsy turvey in our household for the last few months, what with sickness of every kind, and DH and I have been meaning to go to the movies since his birthday in early feb. Finally we had a window of opportunity this weekend. Super awesome Aunty & uncle have offered to take the kid for a sleepover and we are free agents for the night.. At least until approximately 8pm when i will no doubt fall asleep from exhaustion as happens every night at the moment! So, an early movie it is 😉
We decide upon ‘The Hunger Games’ and I pull out our La Premiere gift pass, only to find that it expired at the end of February.
DEVASTATED!!
I’d bought the voucher as part of a fundraising campaign for my nephews school last year, so at least I figured my money hadn’t completely been wasted.

Anyways, luckily I have a beautiful friend who works at Hoyts and I thought I’d sound her out as to the likelihood of them accepting the voucher still, though out of date.
Imagine my surprise when she replied saying that most of hoyts vouchers have a months grace period on them, so I could use mine up until the end of March! HUZZAH!!!!!!!
So the moral of the story folks is not to throw away those out of date vouchers. At the very least call the company and ask if they can still be used.. And like me you may be pleasantly surprised!! 🙂
