Re: Solving World Hunger with the System i and maybe helpingtheplatform

Along that same line, my wife recently went shopping with Amex gift cards
($25 and a $50) that she got a few years ago. She had tucked them
somewhere,
and just recently found them. When the clerk ran the $25 card thru, she
said
there's only $2.75 left on this card. My wife handed the $50 card to the
clerk to see what was left on that card. The result was something like
$26.
My wife paid cash for her purchase, and when she got home, she called
Amex.
They told her that after two years, they start knocking about $2 per month
off the value of the card. My wife said that was news to her, so Amex
restored the full value to the $25 card, as long as she uses it within a
month. Unfortunately, she didn't think to mention the number on the $50
card, so this weekend, we're going to use the $51 when we go out on one of
our monthly dinner dates.
