![]() ![]() Tried to contact them but their voicemail is always full, emailed and no response. I got in on the TGIF deal as well, and they said they got the cards and sent me a check. I just want to ask, has anybody gotten any payment from giftcardrescue? Then yesterday Alex popped into the comments of my previous post. Here is what he said: On Jthey said, “If you do not receive the check after 14 business days, please contact us.” Well life got busy and I sort of forgot about them for awhile. After a few days I sent them an email and almost immediately I received a response that my check was in the mail! They had my cards, but were not processing them. ![]() Thankfully they never requested anything from me, but I noticed my sale was just sort of sitting there. The shadiest part of this was their assertion that they would just accept the cards as a donation if the person never sent that info. Once they had the cards in their possession, they would write to the person and demand more information from them. I forgive you Staples.)Ī few weeks ago I wrote about Gift Card Rescue and how they started holding certain people’s gift cards hostage. (Except when they have so many good deals. The one thing that is noticeable and unforgivable in my opinion is when a company does wrong over and over again. Sometimes I get upset and sometimes I forgive them for doing me wrong.

WC cannot recommend SanDisk’s RescuePRO (Deluxe!), except as a means of imposing frustration on yourself. Except for the wasted time, unnecessary purchase and an extended unpleasant experience. All of WC’s photos were successfully recovered. WC located a third party application that had decent reviews, something called, prosaically enough, CardRescue, by WinRecovery. So the problem was pretty clearly the SanDisk software. WC in the meantime, had confirmed that his Mac could read and write to the CFExpress card just fine. Um, why? And why would WC do anything but laugh and hang up? Then they asked WC to provide photos of the CFExpress card and card reader. WC re-entered Tech Support Hell, but they had nothing to offer and declined to reimburse WC for the cost of the pointless third party card reader. The software still didn’t recognize the card. So, five days in, WC plugged in the new, third party card reader, downloaded a fresh copy of RescuePRO (Deluxe!), meticulously (three tries) typed in the new 50-character license code, popped in the CFExpress card and. WC impose a 48 hour quarantine on all incoming packages. Has WC mentioned yet that by this point all of his annoyance at himself had been transferred to SanDisk? In the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown, that meant Amazon. After 45 minutes of fiddling, the Tech Support person allowed as how maybe it would be better to get a third party card reader.

If you’ve been following along carefully, you’ll have noted this was an all-SanDisk effort: card, card reader and software. the software couldn’t “see” the flash drive. So WC carefully downloaded the software, meticulously typed in the 50-character license code, fired up RescuePRO (Deluxe!) and popped his erased SanDisk CFExpress card into the SanDisk Car reader and. SanDisk gives you a “free download” of its flash drive recovery program, SanDisk RescuePRO Deluxe. So the images were erased from the flash drive and not saved onto the computer. Unhappily, one of the DAM tools WC was using failed to copy the images from the flash drive to WC’s computer, even though it certainly looked as if it had. Unhappily, WC also continued to use the same workflow he’s used for the last ten years: download, confirm, erase flash drive and move on. The DAM software WC has used for years, Apple’s Aperture, has long been abandoned by Apple and won’t run at all under the new MacOS. “Bundled” means you get one whether you want it or not.Īt the same time WC was learning his new camera, he was also evaluating various digital asset management (“DAM”) applications. The ones that go in WC’s new camera are a variety called “CFExpress.” When WC purchased his camera, it was bundled with a SanDisk CFExpress card reader. They come in a variety of shapes, capacities and read/write speeds. In a Digital Single Lens Reflex (“DSLR”) camera, your “film” is a small flash drive.
