Boy tough call on this. How about redeeming for ecerts like someone else mentioned and donate them to some kind of charity. Personally I would want to use them myself if I was in your shoes, but I know that this is a hard thing to do, I would feel guilty for a long time if I did.
Any lawyers out there that can chime in on redemption for yourself, can the company sue you, or if you redeem for ecerts and then donate what kind of recourse can they have?
