Hilton Head DVC gift card offer - 45 days expiration!

[Lorana]

Hey all! Just wanted to let folks who are going to Hilton Head now through mid-February that there is a DVC Gift Card offer; spend $75 on a Hilton Head Resort Shopping Card and get a $10 Dining Card. Follow the link here to purchase it:
https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/discounts-perks-offers/hilton-head/
However, read the fine print! The cards expire *45 days after purchase*!!! I'm making sure everyone sees this so you don't lose money like I just did. I saw this and decided to purchase one because we are planning to go in April, and I thought it would be good to get this in advance. Totally missed the fine print, and the actual purchase page does not list the expiration date anywhere: https://wdgiftcards.disney.com/Campaign/HHPREARRIVAL20/
(if you click on terms and conditions, it does not list the expiration date. There's a reference in there to disneyterms.com/hiltonheadbonusdining but it's not an active link. If you go to that URL, the 45 day expiration is there, but boy do they hide that!)

Sigh. I'm going to reach out to see if I can get a refund given it was not clear during the purchase process that it would expire (I'm used to gift cards not expiring), but I suspect they will point to the "non-refundable" clause and that the expiration date is disclosed even though they do their best to hide it from you.

Ah, okay, update: the shopping card doesn't expire, but the dining card does. So I'm not losing my $75, but I am losing the bonus $10 that prompted me to buy this. Oh, well... still, they should make it clear the bonus card expires in 45 days.

I read all of the available fine print in all of the pages prior to actually putting in payment information - I can't for the life of me find any language where it says anything expires in 45 days - where did you read that?

I haven't purchased it yet - but we'll be there in March. I seriously can't see anything noting a 45 day expiration so I wanted to ask.

They hide it pretty well off the purchase page. You need to click on Terms & Conditions. Read to the end where it says it can updates terms at any time at disneyterms.com/hiltonheadbonusdining - you need to copy that link because it’s not an active URL and the link isn’t anywhere else on the page. On that page, it says that the $10 dining card expires in 45 days. When you receive the dining card in email, it will have an expiration date listed on it of 45 days after you purchase the $75 shipping card.

Right?? They really make it hard to find. It made me a little angry when I got the email and saw it would expire.

If there is someone going to Hilton Head between now and November 29, and want a $10 Dining Card to Tide Me Over? I'd rather it go to use than just expire.

Me! I’ll take it if it’s still available; we will be there in less than one month.

Will do. Lundve has it now, but if anything falls through, you're next in line.
