“”the Gift cards are generally a risk””
“For those who bought a gift card before the 30 november 2018 are no guarantees that you get their money back. However, if the purchase has been made with a credit card, the chances are more. “
“– Have you shopped with a credit card so you can turn to your bank and get the money back, ” says Gustav Sandgren, the advisor at the Swedish Consumer agency. “
“The customers who have not purchased their gift cards with a credit card can choose to apply to the trustee to get their money, but it is rare that it pays dividends. “
” Gift cards are generally a risk because companies can go bankrupt and then they cease to apply. Of bankruptcy, the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, and there may well purely formal turn, but there is rarely money left to the customers. I would not have any greater hope that it would actually pay off. “

“Have you bought a gift card november 30, 2018 or later, it can be returned (in cash).”
