I'm a CA resident, and I don't believe this is true. CA does disallow expiration of gift certificates, but to the best of my knowledge does not require that they be accepted for everything the business sells. It is very common for businesses to have gift certificates that only apply to, say, the merchant's online stores but not retail shops (or vice versa) and these have never been challenged. |
Not true that a business in CA can limit the use of a PURCHASED gift certificate. Cash was paid for the certificate and unless there were specific limits/purposes on the cert's use at the time of purchase, the business cannot limit the scope of merchandise it can be used to purchase.
OTH, state law (at least I recall it is a law, it may be just standard practice though) prevents allowing the purchase of alcohol/tobacco/dairy (I think dairy also) but those products can't be used to qualify for a store awarded loyalty gift certificate. Likewise, store awarded gift certificates can have a limited scope of eligible products. But limits on consumer purchased gift certificates cannot be limited, they are the same as cash.
BTW.....DAAAAANG
this was an OLD thread of mine...HAHAHAHA...at least we aren't talking about co-opting the MBB connection on the Kindle as a hot spot, though I never really tried using my MBB router/hotspot.
