Deadline Approaching For RadioShack Gift Card Refunds

JUSTIN SULLIVAN / GETTY IMAGES

Unused gift cards from RadioShack can still be redeemed, but the deadline is close.

When RadioShack went into bankruptcy last year, attorneys general, including from RadioShack's home state of Texas, worked on the terms of a U.S. Bankruptcy Court order to allow the refunds.

If you purchased a gift card at RadioShack, or on its website, you have until the Dec. 2 deadline to ask for a full refund.

The Kansas AG office offers help at InYourCornerKansas.org.

RadioShack began in 1921 as a radio parts store. It boomed in the 1970s with the CB radio craze, but its phones and computers never really found their way.
