It Doesn't Hurt To Ask...

How many times have I said this? 80% of the time it turns into something like this:

I was eating the rest of a box of cheerios, and noticed a "prize" on the bottom. I opened it, and it was a $5.00 Discover giftcard. SHA-SWEET! But went I looked at the date, the card had expired. CRAP! We just don't eat cereal fast enough. So what did I do? I emailed customer service, said some nice things about their product and asked if there was any way they could reissue the giftcard. This was their response to me:

Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding our Big G Cash Card.
