Dear Valued Shopper:

Currently an inaccurate email is being widely circulated, which warns about the use of retailer gift cards and lists specific stores that are closing. You may have already received it from colleagues, neighbors, friends or relatives. We don't typically comment on rumors in the marketplace; however, because this rumor has the potential to create unnecessary concern among customers we wanted to let you know that the email circulating contains inaccuracies regarding store closings, and there is clear speculation about their store gift cards. What we can tell you is that if you are concerned about guaranteeing a card's value and future redemption, you have the option of purchasing one of our mall gift cards that can be used at any store. We have also created a dedicated website for consumers to get more information on retailer gift cards at: www.getthefactsongiftcards.com.

We know that current economic conditions are challenging and that everyone is being impacted. We also know that it's the little things that count during the holidays. That's why we are "Spreading the Cheer" this holiday season and invite everyone to come to the mall. Through our Spread the Cheer campaign we are highlighting the great value our retailers are offering and doing fun things to make you feel good at the mall this holiday season. So even if wallets are tighter this year, we encourage you to do some window shopping, enjoy the holiday decorations and just enjoy the sights and sounds of the season.
