I believe in the honesty of people and besides, the PIN isn't scratched off and in order to use it online, you have to scratch that off. Good point, though.
Somehow, my answer to you got lost, TheFates. I called the number again and it is the right number for Kohls. Instead of going directly to checking the balance on your card, they are transferring you to an operator to take a short survey. As is usually the case, this is taking forever. I also checked online, and in order to check the balance there, I would have to scratch off the PIN and I don't want to do that and leave it open for fraud. The number is real and if you want to call it back later, you can. I know you don't know me personally, but I wouldn't lie about such a small amount. If I were looking to get mega points, I would certainly say it was a larger amount on the card. But I don't lie...period. Good luck, bidders!
