Gift certificate says it's redeemed -but it's not!

The customer got this error:
The Gift Certificate number xxxxxxxx may be invalid or has already been redeemed.

That coupon says it's redeemed:

Senders ID: 460
Amount Sent: $100.00
Date Sent: 06/12/2007
Redemption Code: xxxxxxxx
Email Addr: [email protected]

Date Redeemed: 06/27/2007
IP Address: xx.xx.xx.xx
Customer Id: 510

And customer id 510 and email address all match to this person. But I have no sales on 6/27! I checked the sales on either side and no coupon redemptions going on. Where did this money go? The lovely lady who bought this gift certificate bought 2 more which have not been redeemed yet. I am a bit concerned. I went ahead and sent this customer a gift certificate, seeing as there doesn't appear to be any way to get at his rightful money!

:oops: I am on an older version. 1.3.5

Check via phpMyAdmin for the table:
coupon_gv_customer

Who suddenly has money?

What version of Zen Cart are you running?

Okay, customer 510 has the money (and an extra $100 due to the gift certificate I sent). Now I know where to get at this, I suppose I can just clear out the cash and send them the item.

I am on 1.3.5. :oops:

It's been 13 years...can you give me proper SQL syntax, please, for what I need to do:

update coupon_gv_customer where customer_id = 510 set amount = 0

Okay, got around it. I got the syntax and told them to order and pay by check (and not send the check).

So I took away the money in that table manually. It's gone, correct? No one will be able to use that coupon?

And I am guessing you're going to say if I upgrade, this will go away? I have 2 other outstanding gift certificates.

I would upgrade ... there are numerous issues in v1.3.5 that you really don't want to have that version on a Live shop ...

v1.3.7.1 is much more secure ...

I recommend upgrading a copy of your site in something like:
/new_shop

With a copy of your database something like:
v1371

And practice the upgrade ...

There are numerous threads if you search over the last year or so for:
/new_shop

with a great amount of detail on the steps to upgrading ...

Backup both your site and database before attempting any kind of upgrade ...

**So I took away the money in that table manually. It's gone, correct? No one will be able to use that coupon? **

Will upgrade!

If the money for that GV is removed manually and that coupon_code is marked in the table:
coupons

As coupon_active N ... then it cannot be used again ...
