Gift Card Buyers Beware!!

 Friday, November 21, 2008

I'm sure some of you have received this forward already, but wanted to post it to share with everyone who hasn't seen it yet.I don't know how true it actually is but thought it might be something to look out for. Shoppers beware....

I wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you tend to give gift cards
around the holidays, you need to be careful that the cards will be
honored after the holidays. Stores that are planning to close after
Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though
the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them
from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankruptcy
Planning). Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be
cautious about.

Circuit City (filed Chapter 11)
Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing
Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine's to close 150 stores nationwide

Remember Layaway??

Remember the good old days....when you'd go school shopping at the end of the summer and you'd put your clothes on layaway. I especially remember this at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Well, KMart has brought it back,I'm assuming due to the economy right now!!They have an 8 week layaway program that allows you to shop for your Christmas gifts now, and make payments on them up until Christmas.I just found out about this,and definitely want to take full advantage.Not only does this eliminate,spending all of your money in one shot,but you avoid the Christmas crowds,and losing out on the kids #1 gift requests due to it being sold out from high demand during the holiday season. No more running to 3 different stores to find that one doll,action figure,or X-Box you desperately need,but is sold out everywhere. Aaahhhhh....now I can finally do some enjoyable and relaxing shopping early for the holidays, thank you K Mart!Click right on this articles title above "Remember Layaway" and it will send you directly to KMart's layaway program where you can read more about it and find out about their policies!
