Gift card news
I am not sure how many people read the news about Sharper Image today regarding their bankruptcy and gift cards, but it struck me as extremely interesting. If you did not get a chance to read the news I will provide you with a brief overview of what is going on. Sharper Image has filed for bankruptcy and apparently their gift cards are no longer valid. However, I did read on ChicagoTribune.com that a customer service agent was contacted and said that consumers should be able to use the gift cards in the future. I am not sure how this will play out, but it does not sound very good. I will not draw conclusions, but will say that buying Visa gift cards seems to be the safer choice. I will look into this more as the week goes on and continue to write about it.
