DD just called me from Macy's. I decided to give her and her best friend the Macy's $50 gift cards that I got from Komen. Today was her friends 16th birthday and they went out for dinner and shopping at the mall. The gift cards were good from Dec. 6th - Jan. 6th only. But for some reason when they got to the checkout line they were showing a $0 balance!

I talked with the manager of the store and she thinks they just didn't get activated in the computer today. Needless to say the girls didn't get the stuff they picked out!! It was too late tonight to get it straightened out, so they are going to do that tomorrow.
I'm sure glad I didn't give them to the family we adopted for Christmas!

I decided instead to get them a Target gift certificate. I figured if they were low income then they might want to shop somewhere that $50 would go a little further! Anyway, I will take the $100 Safeway gift card down and make sure it has a balance before I give it to them.
