For the last 3 years I have received a gift card for Cato's from my son. I understand that they are financially strapped. When I went to the store in Callaway Florida they told me that their gift card system has been down all week. I called the corporate office and they have no resolution. This is crazy. I think purposely holding the funds because their financially tight. You mean to tell me in our entire week's time there is no resolution to all of the other moms who may have gotten a gift card from Mother's Day. And I spent an hour picking up my clothing just to be told that I couldn't use it. They need to post that on the door before people waste all day looking for clothing. I don't believe that the gift card system is down. Never again. Going forward I will tell my son to not include Cato in my gift cards from Mother's Day.
