First, let me say that I still love Babies R Us for their selection. I however live 250 miles from the nearest one. I did do an online registry with them because there were several things I wanted that I just couldn't find elsewhere. My coworkers went to the local toys are us and bought me a very generous gift card which they were told I could use on my registry online. This was unfortunately a mistake. I contacted the company and went to the store to explain my situation and niether one could swap out the gift card for a gift certificate with a code that could be used online. Neither would the the Toys R Us store give me the monitary value of the card so that I could deposit it in my checking account and use my debit card. I'm sure this was and honest mistake, but at 8 months pregnant I'm just not up for the trip. Luckily my sister in law is gracious enough to go shopping for me. I just wanted to let other expectant moms out there know in case they are considering a registry with Babies R Us and they live far away from the nearest store.

Sincerely,
SLeJeune

Generally TRU carries a lot of the same products as BRU. Maybe you can use the gift card at TRU instead?

How disappointing? Have you written corporate? The stores actually hear about it! Of course, it benefited me none in my situation, but maybe it could help you.
