With so many retailers currently struggling, it is hard to know which retailers will be around in the New Year.

When companies file for bankruptcy, like Circuit city just did, a judge determines which debts get paid. Gift cards are way back at the end of the line – they are so far back they can’t even see the velvet rope!

You will not get a refund and the person you bought the gift for will not be able to use the card. Very sad. So if you plan to buy someone a gift card this season, be careful.
