More ominous portents from an author with connections:

I've also been getting emails from them like crazy since the New Year. Today I got one saying I'd "earned $3.15 in Borders Bucks" which were good until 1/31. Later in the mail it mentioned it was my balance as of 12/24 (I spent it before the New Year"
So it looks like they're doing anything they can to lure people in to the stores. Including rolling December Borders Bucks over thru January
. But also (deceptively?) telling people they have Borders Bucks they already used
I hope they pull it out somehow, but it does not seem likely.
