Christmas Gifts = Gas Cards at KOP

I just got an email from the folks at King of Prussia Mall who are doing their best to convince shoppers that they really, really, really should buy gifts this holiday season even though the economy blows and there’s no way people are going to drop as much cash as they normally would. (Contrary to what PW thinks.) They’re offering all sorts of enticement, including a shuttle bus that will actually drive you around the mall and a special holiday section of their website with gift ideas and contests. They’re also offering gas cards when consumers purchase three $20 gift cards for King of Prussia Mall. Considering King of Prussia is the shopping mecca in this area, I’d say that’s not such a bad deal.

(So, yeah. Gas prices are way down and the average driver can fill his or her tank up for less than $25 right now. But, hey, who doesn’t love free stuff?)
