After Holiday Consumer Tips

After Holiday Consumer Tips: From GovGab: "It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! This week, my favorite stores are having major after-Christmas sales so that they can get rid of their extra inventory. As the frugal (read: cheap) fashionista I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve also been thinking about a few other consumer issues that are particularly relevant this time of year and thought I’d share them with you, too.
If you received gift cards, there is good news for you. Under the Credit CARD Act, gift cards purchased after August 22, 2010, cannot expire for five years after the card was issued. Furthermore, there are new limits on when you can be charged fees on the balance of your gift card for non-use. That’s great news for consumers who save their gift cards until they find the perfect something or misplace them. If you have any problems with your gift card, contact the seller first. If they can’t help, contact the Federal Trade Commission for gift cards issued by retailers or the Comptroller of the Currency for those issued by national banks.

You may also have to hit the stores to return that sweater from Aunt Betsy that didn’t quite fit. Return and exchange policies vary from retailer to retailer and requirements may differ from state to state. Here are a few tips that may be helpful no matter where you live or where you have to return:

• Read the return and exchange policies for the store.
• Keep all of the packaging and tags.
• Remember to bring the original or gift receipt with you.
• Return the item as soon as possible.
• Beware of restocking fees on returns, particularly for electronics.
• Check the website to determine if the shipping and handling fees will be refunded for online purchases. Some online retailers that also have physical locations may accept returns at their stores rather than requiring you to ship it to their warehouse.

Do you have any other tips for making returns easier?"

Save Money by Weatherizing Your Home

Save Money by Weatherizing Your Home: From GovGab: "A few years ago, we replaced half the windows in our house and we saved about $500 in heating oil that winter and got a tax credit. When you’re a homeowner it can be hard to find the money to make improvements to the weatherization of your home, but it really does pay off in the long run. Our house is about 100 years old, so there’s no end to our list of home improvement projects, but whenever anything is replaced, I make sure that I consider energy efficiency.
Our appliances must all be ENERGY STAR rated, and I did my research to be sure that I was buying really efficient windows. I find that good quality, energy-efficient products can be a little more expensive to buy, but they pay you back in so many ways, and there are government programs that will help you pay for them.
The Residential Energy Property Credit offers tax credits if you made energy-efficient improvements to your home in 2009 and 2010. You could get a credit up to $1,500 for adding insulation, energy-efficient exterior windows, and energy-efficient heating and air conditioning systems. You can also get a tax credit when you install alternative energy equipment, like solar hot water heaters, geothermal heat pumps and wind turbines.
Weatherization assistance programs are available to low income families, to help permanently reduce energy bills. These programs provide free services like weather-stripping doors and windows, and improvements to heating and cooling systems. Offices in your state administer the programs, so check with your state offices to find services available in your area and to apply for assistance."
