Famously in November 2021 for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/vanillagift.com\/\" class=\"ek-link\">VanillaGift.com<\/a> had fee free Visa gift cards using code <em>SHOPEARLY2021<\/em>. That code was scheduled to last for a couple of weeks (which should also be obvious from the name), but it didn&#8217;t actually stop working until Summer of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an isolated occurrence either, it&#8217;s happened to multiple promotions over the weekend and some of them will no-doubt continue throughout the end of the year, or if you&#8217;re lucky into next. What&#8217;s the lesson? Companies don&#8217;t always bother with expiration dates. Always be probing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1023\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/joyland.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8648\" style=\"width:420px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/joyland.png 1023w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/joyland-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/joyland-768x539.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Clearly Lubbock&#8217;s amusement park outlived its expiration date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deluge of promotions between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is waning like the Joyland Amusement Park in Lubbock, TX, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wisdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8647"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8650,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8647\/revisions\/8650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
