If you have held onto a Circuit City gift card a little too long (i.e. until after the national big-box electronics retailer went belly up and stopped accepting them), then Carmel area hhgregg, and its other Indy-area stores, are offering somewhere to spend your un-used card value.
Until April 1, the national electronics retailer, with its mega-store at 96th and Keystone, will honor the full value of any active Circuit City gift card.

For instance, a $100 gift card would be most valuable on a purchase of $500.
