snagglepuss wants to sue Mastercard- his $50 gift card was worth $27

[zeitgeist]

In the interest of full disclosure I should point out while cleaning out a draw of stuff last week I ran across a bunch of unused Barnes and Noble gift cards recieved over the years.  As it occurs I had also just been reading the list of businesses predicted to fail in 2012 which included B&N so I decided to look the cards up on line and see if they were still good.  I had no idea if they had any expiration date but figured I certainly could find out. 

It was a simple matter of typing the numbers in to B&N site and giving the pin code to find out what the cards were worth.  After that I took my 'wish' list of books and managed to erase the gift cards AND get free shipping.   Since I am not a big fan of B&N my initial thought had been to investigate turning the cards into ready cash at an online site such as:

I've never seen any episode.

I never watched a single episode when it was broadcast originally.
I've since seen every one at least twice.  
Same thing with Arrested Development.

Barnes & Noble are supposed to fail? Glad I didn't buy a Nook then.

Stale-dating: It can turn $50,000,000.00 into nothing.

BS for quoting vesta

I just found out my Borders gift cards are now useless, wonder if I should sue.

FIFY  I smell class action here.  Quick, call the offices of James Suckalot and Love PA.
