A lot of stores only offer an in-store credit rather than a refund, it's absolutely ridiculous. You probably won't get a cash refund. But, maybe you could trade it with one of your friends who like American Eagle?
Or you could buy like underwear or bras in the store, nobody will see them anyways, I think, so you could just buy those things. They have some pretty cute bras and underwear there, even if preppy isn't your style. Good luck :).
She gave you a gift card because you didn't return the clothes soon enough. Most store give you 30 days to return and get your money back, but after that they only give you a merchandise return card.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
