If you’re holding onto a Toys ‘R’ Us gift card and feeling uncertain about what to do with it, we have great news for you! Bed Bath & Beyond has stepped in to offer a solution for customers left in a lurch after the beloved toy retailer announced its closure.
Since the end of Toys ‘R’ Us became official, many consumers have rushed to spend their gift cards, especially since the websites for both Toys ‘R’ Us and Babies ‘R’ Us have been taken offline. This sudden shift has left some shoppers without a clear path to utilize their remaining balances. Fortunately, Bed Bath & Beyond has introduced a compelling opportunity: you can exchange your Toys ‘R’ Us gift cards for Bed Bath & Beyond e-gift cards at a conversion rate of approximately 65%, depending on the balance of your card.
To find out the exact exchange value, simply input your card balance on Bed Bath & Beyond’s website. Be aware, though, that they do not accept merchandise credit from Toys ‘R’ Us or Babies ‘R’ Us, which is typically given when you return an item.
While it may not seem like the best deal at first glance, if you find yourself with a Toys ‘R’ Us gift card that you’re unsure how to spend, or if you’d prefer a kitchen gadget over a toy, this could be a smart move. As inventory dwindles, you might find that purchasing something practical at Bed Bath & Beyond is preferable to the limited selection at Toys ‘R’ Us.
Time is of the essence, however. The deadline to use Toys ‘R’ Us and Babies ‘R’ Us gift cards is April 21, and Bed Bath & Beyond will cease gift card exchanges at 11:59 p.m. E.T. on April 5.
This isn’t a new initiative for Bed Bath & Beyond; they have a longstanding gift card exchange program that allows you to trade cards from over 200 retailers, though the exchange rates may not be as favorable as using cards directly at the original stores. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- They accept gift cards with a balance of $20 or more.
- The exchange value is influenced by various factors.
- Cards with uneven balances and those that have been partially used are accepted.
- Expired cards are not eligible for exchange.
If you have more questions about their gift card exchange program, you can find answers on their website.
