Rain check question
What is a stores obligation when they give out a rain check?
We recently got a rain check for a laptop that was on sale at one of the big box stores. They didn't have any "working" ones in stock so they gave us a rain check along with the current promotion that was going on. It's all written on the rain check, which is good for 30 days.
2 days later they removed the laptop from their site. We went into a different store yesterday and they said they don't carry that model anymore.
Now from my understanding, if they give you a rain check they legally must provide you with an item of equal or greater value if they cannot provide the exact item the rain check is for. Is that correct?
I just don't want to get screwed over by this big box store.
