Ya I'll also gladly trade anything from FAS that'll fit inside ~300.000 points for an iTunes GC. Not using their stuff anyways.
In my experience, they don't redeem the apps at times I try. Points aren't deducted, though I can try it again and it might go through.
When I redeem there points are deducted after I refresh the page and the app is usually there in my account.Never had that problem!
Told you before many start to have this problem of not being able to redeem. I contacted support 2-3 months ago and they are still "working" on it.
I wish I wasn't right Maybe they will suprise me and fix it but their track record is terrible. And they don't even bother to reply anymore when I ask questions. I just think they think people will ignore it after a while and the sad thing is they are probably right!
I know it feels bad.I hope it will be back online. Try using another Facebook account to redeem them. Good Luck!
