sry about length....Friends Dead son, dead gift.
ok heres the deal, My mom and 2 others helped a woman she works with, with the after funneral thing for her son who died in a car crash. As a gift this woman gave each of the 3(my mom and 2 others) a gift card to a restraunt. Well we go to use the gift card and there is no history on it and it hasnt been activeated.( we had another gift card, too that we used). My family wants to know if you would confront the woman who spent Maybe a good deal of money on it.(i assume anywhere between $25 and $100). Should she be told that it wasnt activated like the person who did it was wrong and hopefully she has a reciept, or do we not mention it. How would you tell her that her gift was worth $0?

Well sorry to say this but thats one of the cheapest things ive ever heard, give the woman a break, i mean ur mom probably wasnt expecting a gift card in the first place... the world wont end if u just say the restaraunt was lovely, thankyou so much for the gift card, i mean seriously her son just died and out of the kindness of her heart she gave out gifts of thanks to the people who helped, let her feel that something went right, so to answer the first part, i would not confront her unless i wanted to upset her and complicate her life even more

The two answers would be right in any other situation but I have to say, considering her son's just died, give the poor woman a break. Do you really need the gift card? If not then ust tell her the restaurant was lovely and thank her- let her feel something's gone right. It's just senseless to ask her to think about a giftcard right now.

Did you try & explain what happened to the people who were working there. Maybe THEY could call her for you. But since you have the card, then maybe they'll require you to do that sort of work.
But I definitely agree with the person below me, you should wait until she asks you guys about it. Unless you really just want to confront her, and ask her if there was a problem. I think that'd be rude, but everyone has different perspectives, you know?
Ask the other two women before you do any of this if the gift card for them worked. Ask them how much was on it, & see what they say, first. Then maybe one of them will ask the woman about it!

usually when people give me gift cards they ask "so how did you like the restaurant?" or "did yuou buy something you liked?" ..if this lady brings it up mention "actually there was a problem with the card.."
you could also say "we love the restarant you gave us the gift card for..but for some reason it didnt work"
i think you should tell this lady about it because if i were her i would want to know my gift card to someone worked
