If you have been laid off AFTER buying big ticket items or made travel plans, some businesses are offering you the option for a refund. Some of the corporations are: Jos. A Bank, JetBlue, Hyundai, Archstone-Smith Trust real estate will help you downsize to a smaller apartment, and there are others. If you are in this situation, it can’t hurt to ask your retailer if he has a similar offer. Of course, you must offer proof that you were laid off and if you left voluntarily you are not eligible.
