Backcountry.com Gift Certificate
January 7, 2010
Thank you, Angus! In itself, as a response so promptly made and thoughtfully sent, I continue to be grateful for and inspired by Backcountry and the community that supports it.
My troubles with this Gear Certificate remain (for reasons I'll mention), but I wanted to mention that I made a purchase anyway, and regardless of the fate of a certificate I have only myself to blame for its datedness, I will continue to be a strong advocate of the Backcountry enterprise.
The paper Gear Certificate issued in 2003 has an "Authorized Gear Guru" signature on it, in real ink, (name of Guru: Gilbert) and because my brother was never in Utah, I conclude that the certificate must have been sent to him in the mail - perhaps before the e-certificates became a common practice. The certificate measures about 3.75in high x 8.5in. wide, and has the logo of a mountain peak in the background, stretching the width of the card.
But besides the 5-digit code, there is no further information.

Backcountry.com Gift Certificate
January 7, 2010
I have a paper gift certificate that is quite old...a gift from my brother for my birthday in 2003. While the gift certificate states that it will not expire, and while there is a 5-digit code stamped on the front, I do not know how or indeed if it can be redeemed via your on-line store.
I received great help from one of your staff with whom I "chatted" on-line. At the end of that conversation, I had convinced both him and myself that I had mistaken "The Backcountry Store" with Backcountry, given that the certificate listed the following website: "www.backcountrystore.com."
But when, subsequently, I searched on-line for "The Backcountry Store," every search directed me to your store. And for further confirmation, I checked other details on my paper certificate: and indeed, the telephone number and location matched up exactly with yours.
This leaves me wondering what to do with this "Gear Certificate"? And ultimately can it be redeemed?
