No wonder they're going bankrupt!


The newest sweep I just posted in the sweeps thread is for Circuit City.

Sign up to win one of five $1500 gift cards to be awarded on December 1.

EVERYONE should be interested in this one!  Check it out.

I hate that I can't get into the Circuit City website. For some reason it is blocked.

D'oh!

Better do it when you get home. They have a sweep every two weeks, but this is the best one I've seen.

I guess it isn't hard to spend $1,500 in there. Provided they have some inventory. Otherwise, a giftcard won't be worth the plastic it is printed on.

I saw a story on the news that the locations that are closing are selling their inventory instead of shipping it to other stores.

They said they will have flat panel tvs and stuff for 50% off! That gift card would go a loooooooooong way then! nod.gif

If the ones near you close you can always use the card online Fuzz.

I'm guessing they won't let you use the giftcard at those stores.

Ooooooo. A nice, new HD tv. That would be sweet. And it would be easy to spend the $1,500 then. I don't know what else I masy want in there. We don't have too many Circuit City around here so I think I really don't know what else they carry. Guess I can always browse the website and find out.

I read something over on MSN that said Circuit City wasn't going to honor any of their gift cards whether it was in-store purchases or online.  I don't know how true this is, but it sure would stink to win one and then not be able to use it.  I'm not going to enter for this because if it is true, it'd be just my luck that I'd win.  hmm

Yeah, watch them be offering a contest for something you can't use.

As a consolation prize, they'll give a a tv with an analog tuner.

Oh I have to believe that's not true.

Gift cards are like cash.  If they went into bankruptcy I would bet the courts would mandate they reimburse people for those gift cards first before their creditors.

Nope.  If a business goes into bankruptcy and you've got a gift card, you have to apply to get your money just like anyone else.  I remember reading about that issue when Sharper Image went under.

It makes sense because the gift card is a liability to them.

I must scurry off to my secret mountain hideaway and regroup!  sprint.gif

It does seem silly to offer giftcards for a prize if you aren't going to be able to use them.

But if you think about it, it's awfully cheap to do that. Probably get a few people into your store to buy up that sale merchandise anyway.

Sorry JR, but I didn't make it up.....I read something about this a few days ago; I just don't know how much truth was in the article.    And Mz is right.....you would have to apply to get your money just like everyone else has to during a bankruptcy.

On a brighter note, you have another chance to win an Xbox 360 Elite.  The original site opened another contest for one from now through December 2.  biggrin
