WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve issued new rules on Tuesday to protect Americans from getting stung by unexpected fees or restrictions on gift cards.
Gift cards have grown in popularity — with more than 95 percent of Americans having received or purchased them, the Fed said.
And as usage has gone up, so too have complaints from people taken by surprise by fees that eat into the value of the cards as well restrictions on how long they'll be good for.
I just felt like sharing this, because you have to watch where you step out there.
