It's likely in January, 2027 that the Saks benefit may go unused entirely. I realize Chicago is not Beverly Hills, but if their plan is to maintain focus on high-end luxury goods, pulling out of Chicago really surprises me.
Yes all of us West of the Mississippi are totally [screwed]. Zero Saks or NM retail stores except for Beverly Hills & Newport Beach. Will use my last $50 x 2 in Vegas and then this becomes another illusory "benefit" like Oura, LA Fitness etc.

Can I purchase the GCs at any retail cash register or do I have to go to the customer service counter (assuming they still have one)
