[Resolved]  Big Bazaar — Misleading advertisement in newspapers

Address:

North 24 Parganas, West Bengal

Big Bazaar has carried misleading advertisements across major newspapers for the "The Great Exchange Offer 18th Feb - 1st Apr". I have scanned the advertisement in today's The Telegraph (Saturday 31, 2012 Page 23) and NOWHERE is it mentioned that Big Bazaar has stopped accepting the "old things" for exchange. I had even verified last Saturday at the Big Bazaar counter and they clearly mentioned that the offer is valid till April 1. Today when I visited the Big Bazaar of VIP Road, Kolkata, I was informed that the offer closed on March 25.

I was not the only one faced with this problem. Nowhere in the advertisement is it mentioned that they have stopped accepting the old things and only redemption is on.

My mother and sister-in-law also faced the same problem when they visited the Big Bazaar outlet at R-Mall, Mulund (West), Mumbai, on Tuesday, march 27, 2012.

The company must take care in future to clearly mention ALL DETAILS of any scheme or offer.
