=Subject: Holiday Gift Cards: BE CAREFUL A Special Note Regarding Holiday Gift Cards: BE CAREFUL This note was forwarded to us and we wanted to share the information with our members: 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 t he 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 'Bankrupcy Planning.' Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be cautious about.
