Hello there,

I'm told I received a $2,000 gift card to Kwiat in the mail from Centurion. Not sure if there is a min purchase because I don't have the mailing in front of me.

Which country is your Cent account based in?

I got it too. No minimum required, but must be in store only, not online.

Interesting, nothing here yet (for a U.S.-based cardholder). Where are you located?

What is the expiration date for the Kwiat card? As usual I won't catch up to my postal mail for a while. Why can't they make these things electronic?

FYI - I understand there are only two Kwait boutiques where these cards are good at, one is in Vegas.

NYC.

BTW - saw the card - "excludes diamond solitaire rings, custom made jewelry and diamond studs."

Card expires 1/15/2013; valid in NYC or Las Vegas Kwiat boutiques

Hope this helps!

You should call Centurion customer service - maybe you can ask re: this offer?

Thanks. I have no plans to be in NYC nor Vegas before Jan 15th so I don't have to worry about this one.

I would have used this in Las Vegas last month if they had sent it to me. Oh, well.

Everything around $2,000 online is now not in stock at either store and, of course, the gift card cannot be used online. I am sure they will magically appear again after this promo ends in a few weeks. Not a very elegant thing for Kwiat to do.

Wow! Did you actually go to the store?

This was the same case with Chopard last year.
The moment the Cent vouchers came out, they removed all cheaper items from the store, which were on "back order" until exactly one day after the Cent cards expired...

I complained, but to deaf ears (both to Amex and to Chopard).

In previous years the free vouchers were a real bonus/gift. Since 2010 or 2011 they are simply marketing tools to get you in the store and purchase something more expensive (and in reality, the vouchers are a "discount of $XXX off a minimum purchase of "$XXX times four or five" - i.e. a 20-25% discount).
