Did you catch the bit on TV about a new venture called Visa Swap? You can donate clothing for points, and use these points to ‘buy’ clothes donated by others. Apparently, there are lots of designer pieces being donated. I was intrigued and googled this. Am I glad I did! I found a review from Tinkerbellee ….
What a load of RUBBISH i dropped of £15,000 of almost brand new goods on friday afternoon like many others i was giver over 10,000 visa swap points, i was there at 10am yesterday, and today sunday, there was NO high end designer goods available. I meet several girls/womern on sat and this morning who had all SWAPPED high end goods expecting thesame, the DISSAPOINTMENT that we all felt was walking in to a almost empty room filled with garments i would not give to chaity, Primark, mark 1, new look, etc… dolcis dirty well worn cheap high st,..( NO where on the website does it state that these garments are even accepted, The classify Karen milllen, Reiss etc as high st.) on saturday i questioned the staff about the 60 plus Designer and high end i had swapped, My clothing is very distinctive i would have seen it immediately. I was told they would not be proccessed until tomorrow I felt that something was not right, as all of the well heeled immaculate dressed women i had spoken with had all handed in high end goods, and there was NOTHING available,I went back todayi was there at 10am got talking to a lovely girl feeling the same as I, We went in there and again nothing the same awful cheap clothing and shoes, we spoke with the staff then The apparent DIRECTOR who did not answer our questions and said all of the goods were out, ( well none of mine, nor the other 7/8 people i had spoken to in the 2 days had seen their swapped goods either.) We were then told we had donated our goods to charity for points to swap, actually i and many others thought we were donating to swap with others. I feel TOTALLY cheated and scammed by this whole process i have over 9,300 points on my visa which the security tried to take off me when i asked questions, I never saw a single item of the 60+ I swapped and i was there at the start of both days, I would like to hear from other swappers i have a group on facebook, (visaswap london )
I would have been furious as well. Have you had a similar experience?
