RangerClay Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I got an email that is making the rounds about all these companies that will be shutting down stores after Christmas. In that email it said that consumers should be careful where they buy gift cards because there may not be a store left to redeem the gift cards. There is a list of store closings but I cannot confirm it so I will not list them here. But the email did make plenty of sense and those of us who do buy gift cards need to beware with the holiday shopping season starting in a couple days. Be careful and share this information with family and friends. Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 that was on the news here, also. i guess "be careful" is the best advice. on the other hand, if you do give a gift card from one of these stores that will close, the person with the card can take advantage of the "going out of business" sales...

Hoosierbuck Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Or give the "prepaid visa" type gift cards that are usable at a variety of places... HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
