Home Depot to Replace Lost, Stolen Gift Cards

Associated Press

Home Depot Inc. agreed to deactivate and replace customers’ lost or stolen gift cards under a deal announced by New York Atty. Gen. Eliot Spitzer.

The agreement makes Home Depot among the nation’s first retailers to change its corporate policy on the plastic cards--long considered the same as cash.

Customers can get another gift card--for the amount remaining on the one being replaced--if they can provide an original sales receipt, valid identification and proof of payment, such as a canceled check or credit card statement.
