Pre-paid gift cards and refunds

PHK

I think people tend to mirror the tone of the person asking. I'm sure nothing untoward was intended.

Fair do's it's standard practice but standard, doesn't, to me, imply set in stone.. 
Incidentally, I overpaid on the vouchers too to get 10% off the full cost as I could only buy in certain multiples... I think I've learnt an expensive lesson and won't delve into these work loyalty/reward schemes again 😪

It's usually stated at time of purchase that the gift card can 't be refunded

Husband, partner, ball on chain! His main prescription was for distance with a need for readers.. being naive he took the opticians advice for Varifocals..(didn't question it).  After a scary incident on the motorway he decided they weren't for him.. I (and he) feel he was pressured and not given all the info as a first time wearer of glasses.. 

I think the point being made was doesn't that mean he now needs a pair of distance glasses and a pair of reading glasses (i.e. an extra pair of glasses) - so you wouldn't have a full refund of the varifocals (and the two pairs might even cost more than the single pair of vari, depending on the frames/add-ons he chooses), so no need for the money to go to waste.

I think you need to contact and ask for a refund by the supplier you bought the discounted voucher from.
Or sell the vouchers at a discounted price to someone else

Exactly my point.  Thank you.
