My gift card comment was meant to be a little tongue in cheek I'm sure the $10 voucher would come through, I'm just a little ticked off at them because my gran lost her gift card when they went bust

Love to know for sure!
As per Spacejock reply the online stores are definetly being purchased by pearsons it is on Borders website in the about us section. Most B&M stores are either closed or going on as independants I believe the independants are going to align themselves with Collins.

I'm glad everyone found them useful in the past the vouchers have always stated that they're not applicable to ebooks but not this time, a pernament change I hope.
