I don't have one, but can you explain or a cite a link to that effect.

Radio Shack is NOT out-of-business; they're in Chapter 11 and still have many stores operating.

There are two of them within a mile of my QTH.

Just heard it on the radio news this morning, will probably be in business section of todays papers.
It also said it's because a lot of the stores are closing today so they won't have to pay April rent/lease.

The judge handling the bankruptcy can extend the gift cards for 30 days.  From what I can find, that 30 day period ends on the 31st of March.

Thanks.
Found a couple of news articles on line that confirm gift-card expiration.

Meanwhile, as I said, many RS stores remain open -- at least for the moment.

I have to wonder what the combined Sprint and RS experience will bring to us old timers who frequented RS for parts, cables, or similar DIY items?

I never expected much of a fraction of what even The Shack had gotten to in the new venture.  but if you need an armband for a $1000 smartphone for jogging, you are probably in luck.

depending on which island above water every third Tuesday made it...
