I knew that could happen, but it's so f'd up. I mean, they got the money for the card, they should honor it. It's like stealing if you ask me.

i understand their reasoning behind how this is legal (how it's a debt, and bakcruptcy dissolves debts) but it really should be illegal :( It's practically stealing from customers.

We ran into big problems with Levitz. we only recieved half our order (just the love seat no couch) they won't send us the other half and they are still trying to charge us for the couch we have not recieved.

That's so weird that you posted this because I just went there today - not knowing - to try to take something that I bought recently back (it was defective and I already found something else). I had the receipt and they could not give me my money back - ahrrg! I couldn't get a gift receipt either - double ahrrg!

To me that is just wrong, I mean they sure aren't preventing you from buying anything from them but to not honor their gift cards or return policy?? That is ridiculous. Ya gotta love the stores though that see it as an opportunity to get more customers by saying they will give a discount for Sharper Image gift cards :D
