That may be the case, but it doesn't make any sense. There are basically three reasons why gift certificates are better than cash:
1) it is paid in advance, and the retailer gets to use that money in the interim 2) often the recipient ends up spending more than the value of the certificate, and maybe even becomes a new repeat customer 3) often people never use the gift certificate, and the retailer gets to keep the cash anyway Now, why would you refuse somebody a discount because they are using a gift certificate? That's just bad business. John Nasta -----Original Message----- The problem I had with them was trying to spend a $50 gift certificate my in-laws got me. The guy would not give me the 10% once he found out that I was using that to pay for some of it. I really think it was more the guy on the line, not their policy (I never checked). I'm sure they would not allow the 10% off when buying a gift certificate. Ron
