BOGO Certificate can't use what to do?

I have a IGH BOGO Certificate which I can't use what to do? It expires the end of this month.

Do you think I can call IGH and trade it in and ask for a later dated cert?

They generally do not offer extensions. The general practice is to post on Coupon Exchange for a BOGO that expires later in the year. You'll find if there's someone planning to use one later this month with a future expiry date, they'll swap it with you...as long as there's time for the post office to get it to them. Now that you've posted here, you may get a PM or three as well.

According to formal posts on the IC Ambassador forum (the invitation-only one run by PC), they CAN extend them on a discretionary basis if people ask .....

However, this was advertised as a once-in-a-lifetime courtesy, and only after the certificate actually expires.

I lost one to expiration on May 31, requested a new one June 2. Was told 2-4 weeks. Don't have it. Wrote in a second time a few days ago, and was told, "it has been processed, expect it in 2-4 weeks. Sorry for the delay."

Share the wealth

I too just found myself in this same situation. Rather than go through the hassle of trying to get it extended, do what I did and give it back to the community here on FT! ^ I put up a thread in the CC saying quick expiring BOGO free to whomever and it ws gone quick. It's nice to give back sometimes.

No problems ever. AFAIK they don't track the certs by serial number.
