Receipts, returns and gift cards

  • Check the return policy before you buy: many stores set 30- or 90-day windows, often printed on the receipt. Keep the receipt and the original packaging.
  • Without a receipt you will likely get store credit, often at the item's lowest sale price.
  • Buying gift cards from an exchange site? Read reviews and make sure the site guarantees the cards are valid.
