If it has a Visa or Master Card logo, call and tell them the story. They will tell you if you have a claim. If you do, DO IT! These retailers pay for the privilege of charging your card (sometimes at $0.75 per swipe). This gives you some kind of "insurance" about the products you buy. Its your right, use it.
