I was recently given 2 x £150 John Lewis gift cards from my colleagues before going on maternity leave.

They were purchased from Asda by one of my colleagues in cash. We do have the receipt and activation receipts from Asda

She purchased them on 11/04, i got them on the 14/04 and we tried to use them on the 01/05 as we were deciding what to buy however both were showing 0 balance. When we peeled it off, the pin code was damaged and very hard to read.

I called John Lewis and they said they were both used on 22/04 and they couldn't give me any further details on who used them or what was purchased and i couldn't get the money back ans that basically it wasnt there problem as to them it had been used but to report it to the police

Asda have said its John Lewis problem not theirs.

Because its quite a substantial amount of money, is there anything I can do?

NB: my colleague who bought the gift cards definitely didn't use them.

Im going to be making "mars bar krispie cakes" with buttermilk mars bar dupes, what chocolate does everyone recommend for the top layer?

I was considering nomo but its going to cost be about £15 to get the right amount 🤣
