We all love getting gift cards because then we can pick what we like but what happens when the store you have the card for will no longer honor it or the store itself is out of business? You lose your money.

Best advice in these times is: Watch those store money cards and gift cards.. and credit vouchers!

My new policy for this past year was to spend them as soon as I got them as you may forget about them, some have expiration dates, charges for every month not used, etc.

Now a new challenge: stores closing down or stores in financial trouble that may close down in the future.

Take note: The stores below have informed the Security Exchange of closing plans between October 2008 and January 2009.

Check your wallets, old birthday cards, etc for gift cards to spend NOW- the holidays with their sales are a great time to get more bang for your buck.

Take particular notice of those stores that are shutting down ALL stores or all REMAINING STORES= out of business completely.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. (copy and forward this link)
