Toys 'R' Us may be closing, but if you have unused Gift Cards, you can exchange them for reduced eGift Cards. Act fast before the best deals end.
For awhile, Toys ‘R’ Us worked hard to convince gamers to shop at their stores. Those times have passed, and Toys ‘R’ Us announced the closure of all their United States stores back in March. It’s a sad time for toy collectors and gamers looking to take advantage of a deal or two — and if you’re stuck with an old gift card, then it’s time to start looking for a way to unload.
CardCash.com is a pretty good resource for dumping unwanted gift cards, but you’ll have to act fast to take advantage of the service. Toys ‘R’ Us gift cards will only be honored up until 4/21/18. That’s the last day you’ll be able to sell (or use) your Toys ‘R’ Us gift cards — unless another chain swoops in to save the day. For now, your best possible bet is Bed Bath and Beyond (and their sister chain, buybuy Baby) — sure, you won’t be able to buy video games or toys, but we all need a good throw pillow or two.
