Greetings and Salutations.

I want to start off by saying that I am really excited and happy with being able to pick up Gaia cards at my local speedway, which is located down the street from my place of residence. The "on-the-go" trend seems to fit my days as of late, which saves me a trip to Target that can consume a bit of a portion of my way.

While I am pleased that Gaia is making their cash option much more accessible and convenient, I would like to, however, voice a complaint.

I bought a Gaia Cash card today at my local speedway, which advertised an Avitar with a pet fox on the front of the $10 card and $25 card. I was excited and under the impression that I would receive a pet fox with the purchase of the speedway $10 Gaia Cash card, as opposed to the Target $10 Gaia Cash card which does not have a pet displayed with the Avitar on the front of the card.

I would like to point out that both the Speedway $25 and $10 Gaia cash card have pictures of Morgan on the front of them which may help as a point of reference.

When I walked through my door and into my computer room, I joyfully sat down at my computer, anxious to receive the pet fox advertised on the front of the card. Typing in my pin number in the designated Cash Redemption spot, I quickly clicked the "Redeem Pin" button only to find that I only received the Gaia cash (which I'm happy to have gotten), however I did not receive my pet fox as I was led to believe.

I am rather disappointed with the advertisement put out by Gaia for the Speedway cards for their "on-the-go" Gaians. If Gaia can take the time to create two different cards with different art displaying an avitar without a pet (ie $10 Gaia Cash card sold at Target) and an avitar with the pet displayed on them (ie the $25 Gaia cash card sold at Target as well), then Gaia could take the time to do that same for the service station cards, which should be treated with the same courtesy when considering that 1. Their customers are more likely to rush in and out, thinking they are picking up one type of card and 2. Gaia is an online community which I has more than doubled in its growth over the past year that prizes itself on not only its community, but also the limited virtual items that can be purchased in numerous ways, as well as held onto for memorabilia.

I would like to bring this issue to the minds of the advertisement/sales representatives, management and administrators the issue explained above. I would like to suggest that if the $10 cash cards are correct in their display, then I would like to know where my cute little pet is. However, if the cards are incorrect in their advertisement and display of the limited edition pet, then the cards which do not carry that special item be pulled from the shelves of Speedway (because in Louisville, KY we do not have 7-11 thus I am not sure if they have the same issue) and re shelved with the correct display, in fear that someone may not be quite as understanding as I in this matter makes a big issue out of the cash card advertisement and display.

I am still pleased to have access to buying Gaia cash cards closer to my house, still, and will continue to collect items throughout Gaia ,and I feel that this is an issue to be investigated and thought upon, because I still want to enjoy coming home a fun filled Gaia. smile

I thank you in advance for addressing and resolving this issue in advance. I wish you all at Gaia a wonderful and fun filled afternoon.

Best Regards and Cheers,

my speedway sold out of them in the first three days -_-. I live in a town of maybe 10K people, i didn't know there were that many people who lived here that were into gaia.

I'd also like to say that if the card just shows a pet but doesn't say "recieve a free" on it, then it's not advertising it. I think that's what the other ones said, i'll have to dig them up to find out.....

EDIT: sorry, i think it says "exclusive bonus: [insert name here]"
     
I'm confused, which one did you buy?
The 10 dollar cards never have the pets on them.. ]:

Well at least I don't think they do. o.o

Edit: Does it say you'll receive one on the card?
 
     
 
i didn't you receive a free pet from anyplace but the target cards. Got a scan of your card?
     
i'd like to know more about this pet. Do the cards actually say you'll receive a free item? I don't see one in the marketplace either.
 
     
 
i'm bumping b/c i'm curious
     
i'm still curious.
 
     
 
I'd also like to know what this pet fox is. Inari's Bead fox? or what? ._.'
     
i still wanna know about the fox

i still wanna know about the fox


In the ata it was asked about. No fox will be given out, but from what i hear they're planning on releasing giftboxes or something, lemme find the link, i'll post it here if i find it...

NITERWEBS!!!
I will post a scan of my card when I get off work and finish some last minute errands before my kittens go in for their surgery.

I still have the top half of my Target $10 fastcard which does not have an avi with the pet, and the $10 card I bought from the speedway looks exactly like the $25 card at Target as well as Speedway.

And I would also like to point out that both the $25 card and the $10 card at speedway have the exact same wording on them. I'm not sure how they look in other parts of the US, however I do know that in Louisville, KY the cards look the same and are very confusing with the avitar displayed with the pet fox (or it could be a puppy. The ears are pointed much like a fox)
 
     
 
Gaia Corp, resorting to false advertisement? Nah... rolleyes
     
well once we see a scan, then we can determine if you're supposed to get a pet. Target cards took a couple days to give you benny when he was released. So it might be that the item wasn't supposed to be released yet. (if there is one)

I would like a pet fox... Does it say anything about a free item? I dunno. Maybe it's an item we'll get soon. I'll respond more when you scan it...

Thanks to everyone who sent me a Christmas gift! I can't wait for XMas to open them! <3
sweatdrop Yeah here's the image for the two cards that I have. The lighter coloured card is the one I bought from Target while the one of the left is the one that I bought from Speedway. Which looks exactly like the $25 card you can purchase at Speedway. And this looks like a baby fox to me, but then again it could be a puppy now that I look at it.
