I currently have a gift card for Empire Theatres but the one closest to home was purchased by Landmark Cinemas. When the purchase occurred the staff there said the gift card wouldn't expire and that they would always accept it. Last night I was told they no longer accept the Empire Theatres gift cards and that I would need to call a 1-800 number to have the balance converted to a Sobey's gift card.

Has anyone else come across this situation?
