Online Shopping!

So most stores accept gift cards as payment online. I know this because I spent a good couple of hours shopping on various websites and payed in this way.

I then trawled through the Dorothy Perkins website and picked out a few items that were perfect for my holiday only to get to the checkout and be told that I cannot pay by gift card online!! This wouldnt normally be an issue but the items I had intended to purchase are part of Dorothy Perkins 'only available online' collection, meaning that I cannot go into a store and buy these with my gift card instead! And as its taken me this long to find something I actually like, this gift card is just gonna sit there doing nothing!!

The thing that annoys me most is that Dorothy Perkins wont even notice and/or care as my relatives have already handed over the money for them!

If other stores can accept them online then why cant Dotty P's!?!?!?!
