hopefully @MrVietnam won’t be stuck with a bunch of gc’s.
The Big Lots near me recently reopened after we got flooded last summer. I have to assume it was worth the cost to restore it although the store has never seemed busy and I never find anything that can’t be bought for less elsewhere.

@my4mainecoons said in Big Lots to close up to 40 stores, and it's survival is in doubt:

More concerning is if the 40 stores are all concentrated in one area due to theft/high operating costs versus a smattering of stores all over that are underperforming.
The Big Lots near my Mom in FL closed up earlier in 2024, was in that location a very long time but in a very dead plaza.

No surprise. The store closest to me is on the revised list.

There were only 3 Big Lots stores within 10 miles of my house when I left. Hopefully at least one will remain in business.

Buena Park is a good store, it’s just in a somewhat-questionably sketchy area. Use up that gift card

Thanks for the info that Buena Park is still open. That means 2 out of the 3 Big Lots in my area survived the cut! With that said I think I will stick to a Walmart gift card the next time TCB has a bonus available.

I believe Walmart has a low maximum number of gift cards you can use in one transaction when purchasing online (3, 4, or 5 gift cards.) I don’t know about the in-store limit.
Target lets you combine gift cards into a singular balance with the app.
-
I hear you, but I prefer shopping at Walmart rather than Target though. I often use my Walmart gift cards at Sam’s Club, too.
-
I haven’t been able to use WM eGC at SCO and often the cashiers struggle with them. They got rid of being able to buy a plastic gc with eGC.

I know you don’t have a smartphone, but what I was told at walmart is:
Add the e gift card to your app and then use Walmart Pay at checkout at the store, you can pull the funds off it that way.
-
I have the app on my wifi only smartphone and tablets. I’ll see if that works. Thanks!
I got a $99 WM egc for being in a focus group. Other options were Target (nearest an hour away) and Amazon (trying to spend down Amazon gc) .
-
The gondolas, a pallet jack and the baler from my closing Big Lots are for sale on FB Marketplace.
