So if you knew your next one is coming up on something, give CS a call THAT day and they can use it. I have done it before too if I had merchandise credit. ETA I did this with easy pay A/D so don't know if that makes a difference. And this was for like a 2nd or 3rd shipment scenario

hm, they told me I couldn't last year when I wanted to use one of the gift cards for it.

Was it for an easy pay....not that should make a difference. I did it several times, but you have to wait until it shows up, but before billing.

Thanks Brea for checking to see if it will still works

no, I don't ever use easy pays. I was trying to use a gift card to pay for my upcoming AD and the customer service rep said I couldn't use it to pay for future ADs. I guess it is just one of those inconsistent CS policies which changes depending on who you talk to! I should have tried again with someone new as I thought it was weird I couldn't.

Re: How to use the gift cards

Most gift cards I buy usually say, "may not be used for paying on account". Even Nordstrom wouldn't apply a gift card after I made purchase. I had 50 dollar gift card, I made a 102 dollar purchase. online. I forgot to apply the card before I clicked purchase. I called rep right away, and she said it was too late. geesh! I couldn't even cancel the order, and reorder.
