Editor's Summary
I've been shopping at Perekrestok for over 30 years, and recently I won a 3000-ruble gift card in their lottery. While it was a thrill to win, the experience was marred by some frustrating issues with using the gift card.

Hello everyone!
I've gotta say, I've been going to the local Perekrestok store for over 30 years, and it's the closest grocery store to my house - we've even got two of them!
Recently, I got a notification on my phone that I'd won a prize in their lottery. I was skeptical at first, but when I checked the app, I realized I'd actually won a 3000-ruble gift card to Perekrestok!
It took a bit of effort to get the gift card, but I eventually received it via Russian mail - which was surprisingly fast.
The real fun began when I tried to use the gift card to pay for my purchases at Perekrestok. The cashiers had never seen a card like that before and didn't know what to do with it. In one store, they couldn't process it at all, but the next day I went to a different store and was finally able to use it.
Thanks to Perekrestok for hosting these kinds of contests - it's the little things that make life more enjoyable!
