Martin Lewis has issued an update on Mothercare gift cards.
The store announced it had gone into administration recently, leaving many wondering if they could still use their gift cards.
And now the money saving expert has revealed the exact date Mothercare will stop accepting them.
In an "urgent" Twitter post, the financial guru warned customers to use the gift cards immediately to avoid missing out.
Those with a Mothercare card have until midnight tonight [13 November, 2019] to use their gift cards.
In a tweet, Martin told his followers: "Urgent. Spread word to anyone with a Mothercare gift card, the 'in administration' retailer will stop accepting gift cards at midnight tonight.
