It was a heads-up regarding buying gift cards as Christmas/Holiday gifts and included a list of over 30 stores in our general area (MA) that are closing their doors in this area or are going out of business nationwide. The list includes companies from Circuit City, Home Depot to Disney Stores and clothing outlets. Gift cards purchased for these stores may end up being worthless, so the notice was a reminder to be careful in which ones you choose to purchase. Um...you need to be careful about these emails - they are going around and a lot of the information is bogus. I think this one is legit. I looked over the list of stores and there were many that I already knew were closing up shop. I didn't check all of them though. Circuit City is filing Chapter 11, most likely on Dec. 26th before anyone can get to the store and redeem a gift card or exchange a gift. The gift card problem was also identified on a recent news article I read somewhere. The card is worthless if there is no store in which to redeem it. Make sure you get the money up front. |
