How To Recover Lost Wealth From Expired Vouchers

I was startled several times since my last post re the number of people who live in the erroneous belief that an expired voucher is an expired voucher. Allow me to utilise this next post to disavow you of this sadly mistaken impression.

An expired voucher is only an expired voucher if you believe it to be expired. It's not Zen. This is fact.

If you permit yourself to cohabit (for the period of time it takes to get through to the credit card company on the 1800 line) in a different existential plane where no vouchers are ever expired, you can in fact persuade the individual credit card officer who has the ill luck to pick up your call that these vouchers are mistaken in relation to their life span and therefore should be exchanged for new vouchers who are not so mistaken.

Sometimes the ill-starred credit card officer will raise the possibility that these new non-mistaken vouchers will be yours in exchange for a small amount of cash. In which case you would need to raise yourself to a new plateau of existence where no cash is ever payable to exchange expired vouchers for non-expired vouchers.

On this new plateau of existence, the credit card officer will agree that, indeed, no one would ever need to pay cash for an exchange of vouchers, and wish you good day madam before finally being permitted to disconnect the call.

There is one more plateau of existence that I had intended to raise myself to, at this point, and it is the plateau where the credit card officer sends someone to my office to personally pick up the offending vouchers, with no charge to madam. However, I have a sore throat today, so I guess you could say it is a bad day for my throat and a good day for my credit card company and its employees.
