Use Your Gift Cards at These Stores Before They Go Out of Business
Validity of gift cards usually do not expire for five years , so you usually have enough time to use them – that is, if the store does not stop working. At Rather Be Shopping, Kyle James tells us which store gift cards you should probably use sooner rather than later.
When a store files for bankruptcy and goes out of business, it usually means your gift card won’t be valid for much longer . You want to use it before that happens, and here are some of the store’s gift cards you can use as soon as possible:
Sports Authority: … As of this writing, they still accept Sports Authority gift cards both online and in stores. It should also be noted that they DO NOT accept gift cards at stores scheduled to close in the coming weeks.
