hhgregg accepting Circuit City gift cards, some strings attached

by Steven Kim, posted Nov 19th 2008 at 4:35PM

In case you can't make it to the bargain hunting unfolding at Circuit City stores, or just don't want to face the frenzied atmosphere tinged with gloom, retailer hhgregg will gladly take any Circuit City gift cards you have lying around off your hands. So if your local Circuit City just got closed, or if it just doesn't have that model you're craving, you can cash in your gift cards at hhgregg, to the tune of (up to) 20-percent of your register total. The offer does not extend to online purchases, and you better make sure you use up the entire card value, too, because you'll have to surrender the card to hhgregg before they hand you the goods. Use it or lose it, friends!

That's a stupid proposition there. What about that website that allows you to sell/trade your gift cards for a very low fee? "20% of registered total" is a complete ripoff. Anyone who falls for that is a complete fool. Unless you're trying to buy Monster Cables, of course.
