Attorney General Dave Sunday is advising Rite Aid consumers that they have until June 6 to use any gift cards, coupons or other Rite Aid rewards due to the company’s recent bankruptcy announcement.

Beyond that date, consumers cannot redeem gift cards, Rewards Programs points or bonus cash.

Also, the stores will stop accepting returns or exchanges on June 4.

New Rite Aid LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey on May 5.

The bankruptcy court entered an order shortly thereafter establishing a deadline by which consumers must use their Rite Aid gift cards either online or in stores. After June 6, Rite Aid gift cards will no longer be accepted and will have no remaining value on the cards.

Potential returns are still subject to Rite Aid’s refund and exchange policy.

Any consumers who experience issues redeeming their Rite Aid points, coupons, unused gift cards, or with returning merchandise to Rite Aid should submit a complaint to the Bureau of Consumer Protection online, or they may contact the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-441-2555.
