Now if there is an expiration on the gift certificates, then that would be unusual.
Yes, and add Carrabas to that list. We did the same thing, we let our incentive certificate expire. It's probably why the restaurants offer the incentive certificates - they make a bunch of sales on the regular gift certificates, and a certain portion of those who get the incentive certificates forget to redeem them.
I'd nicely speak to the manager about it to see if they'd make an exception.
