Some of us have unfulfilled Panini Redemptions. I have a one from 2020 and last month I received the following email.

“For customers with unfulfilled football redemptions prior to 2021 that have been deemed to value less than $50 may receive a Customer Service Exclusive 2022-23 NFL Prizm Sparkle pack as a replacement.

The Customer Service Exclusive 2022-23 NFL Prizm Sparkle 3-card pack contains two (2) limited edition non-numbered Red Sparkle parallels and one (1) numbered parallel, which can be from one of the following tiers:

• Blue Sparkle parallel – Numbered to 96
• Gold Sparkle parallel – Numbered to 24
• Green Sparkle parallel – Numbered to 8”

Well, my pack arrived today via Fed Ex...it's waiting for me at home so, no I haven't opened it. I'm not expecting much out of this and probably will not see anything near what I paid for the redemption card back in 2020. With that said, might be worth making sure your address is up to date with Panini if you have unfulfilled redemptions or someone else might get your long-awaited redemption/pack of cards.

Was this an option that you got to choose, or did Panini unilaterally decide they were not going to honor it and send this replacement instead?

There wasn't an option to accept or decline...they just sent an email and then sent the pack of cards. I am assuming they will close the redemption too. 

I received two packs instead of the redemptions.  Both redemptions were from 2019.

A couple of days ago, I received two emails from Panini awarding me points instead of the two cards I was trying to redeem.

Not too many exciting cards to redeem for points, unfortunately.

No more Panini purchases for me, starting with 2023 cards.

I hear you...points are yucky as the products that you can use them towards are often not anything great.    It's not a good business model when a company doesn't follow through and then use excuses such as covid and players not returning labels as a reason.  My redemption was for a for a #ed auto rookie...the only thing I am guaranteed, according to their email is a numbered card...we will see when I get home, but I am not expecting to be happy with the results. Maybe I will be surprised...who knows. 

Here you go...this goes against my own policy of remaining positive while creating videos for a pretty much dormant YouTube channel, but this video is starting to get some traffic. This was the result of the pack of cards that I received for my unfulfilled redemption....Panini couldn't mess this up any more if they tried!!

Sorry man, especially given what you were expecting from the redemption. Just more flashy but ultimately empty product.
