This class action lawsuit revolves around Gift Cards issued in the year 2009 by Abercrombie & Fitch. The lawsuit is entitled Beth Seaver v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc. and is Case No. 11-cv-771466. The lawsuit claims that Abercrombie & Fitch advertised a gift-card promotion to Ohio consumers in December 2009 with no expiration date but went on to void the gift cards in January 2010 which is a breach of contract and violation of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act according to the Abercrombie & Fitch Gift Card Class Action Lawsuit.
The gift cards issued in 2009 were a result of a promotion where a customer would make a purchase of $100 or more (at Ohio Abercrombie stores) and then receive a $25 Abercrombie gift card. At the time of promotion there was not an expiration date on the gift card. But then on January 30, 2010 things went terribly wrong. Abercrombie & Fitch VOIDED the gift card on that date rendering it useless to customers who received the gift card in relation to the $100 promotional campaign. Abercrombie electronically put an expiration date on the gift card, despite the cards indicated there was no expiration date. This seems like a pretty shady move by this popular teen clothing store.
