A2: Ann Arbor Gold

The Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce now plans to use its own funds to reimburse people who purchased Ann Arbor Gold certificates. Earlier this year, the company that administers the program, CertifiChecks, filed for bankruptcy. “(B)eginning on May 1, 2009 at 9 am and ending at 5 pm, Eastern time, on July 15, 2009, the Chamber will redeem the face amount of CertifiChecks certificates that bear the ‘Ann Arbor Gold’ logo and an issue date of February 26, 2008 through February 26, 2009. Subject to the same restrictions, the Chamber will also redeem CertifiChecks Ann Arbor Gold certificates from merchants who received them as payment from customers at any time after February 26, 2008 that were not accepted for deposit and returned to the merchant.” [Source]
