flooz is not gone... American Greetings and Flooz have partnered..

According to customer service at American Greetings...American Greetings has
bought into a partnership with Flooz since they are very profitable.

If you need to call customer service 1-888-833-7673.

This is the latest scoop..

Don't panic..

They truly are restructuring their site and cannot use anything until the restructure is
completed..

Be Positive and we will see..

Ooooooooo, I really hope this is right. I added to my Flooz account by sending some to someone else, so I actually would be out real money, not just 'gift' money from American Greetings. And besides, had AG not given me the $20 of Flooz, I wouldn't have joined their platinum club.

The sad thing is, if this is true, Flooz will be hurting, because in the meantime, people will have lost confidence in them.

American Greetings said they would make the flooz from them good in some way
if there were any problems..

Time will tell.. But, it looks okay so far..

If your source was accurate, this is GREAT news! I had about $50 in my account and would love to have the opportunity to spend it! I just hope it won't take forever to get some great merchants as I'm sure previous merchants will be skeptical about taking Flooz again.

Shocked

I heard that news on the radio also. The guy said "Flooz isn't worth Beenz", ha ha. That really aggravated me. I have over $60 of Flooz and would like to be able to spend it SOMEWHERE! Thanks for sharing the potential good news...

Well, I suppose I'll just keep my fingers crossed. It really hurt to lose the $50.00.

From the Flooz website:

We regret to inform you that Flooz.com, Inc. has ceased operations. The offices are closed and the company will file for bankruptcy protection.

Flooz.com has been adversely affected by dramatic changes in capital markets and the general slowdown in the economy. Flooz.com had been in merger discussions with a number of companies but was unable to find a suitable partner.

We wish to thank all of our customers, merchant partners, service providers, employees and investors for their support.

I have no clue as to how much I lost, since we can't access our records. It had been awhile since I used my Flooz account, so I really can't remember what was in there. If I knew it was just a few dollars (and that's a possibility), I wouldn't feel so bad. But it could also be as much as $25-40.
