That's great news!
Glad everyone got their cards.

I hope that somebody that actually pays a fee picks up these clients.

They must have deleted it after I posted this morning. I'm curious if we are going to get Disney payments . ..

Hope you get that card, Chix. I don't like these type of shops. I'm a "show me the money" type of shopper.

If the company in question were named in this thread, it would be a violation of the ICA shoppers signed with the MSC. It would also be in violation of the forum's rules. Our moderator would edit the post to remove the name.

I sent an email directly to the company when I heard that the MS company was out of business and I got a response today that said that the MS mailed out the gift card out on 4/2. So I should get it next week. I am glad that they are making good on the card.

It sounds like people were getting their cards. I only saw one post where a person said they did not have a PIN to use or activate a card, but everyone else sounded like they were being made whole.

The company told me that mine was mailed on 4/2. and I did the shop 3/24. I will have a final fling at Grand Lux

I sure hope someone else picks up the client. Maybe even someone who will pay actual cash for the reimbursement, although I didn't mind the GC! One of my favorite places!

I still have Grand Luxe gift cards that I can't use here in California because the location in Los Angeles closed down.

You can probably sell the Grand Luxe gift cards on eBay. You will probably not get full face value, but even 80% would be better than nothing. I buy gift cards on eBay (very easy after Christmas) and occasionally sell ones which I get and don't want.

I did a Cheesecake Factory shop years ago and had to chase my cash payment. Shortly after, they switched to paying with gift cards. If they went belly up, I say good riddance. The fact that they couldn't pay with cash, but only gift cards, speaks volumes about their ability to manage cash and run a business. The fact that I had to chase a payment also makes me biased, I know. But I refuse to work for gift cards and find it insulting that MS Companies think it's acceptable. So again, good riddance!
