Around 350,000 consumers who received vouchers for free gas or groceries after they made furniture and other retail purchases won't be able to redeem them after all, according to a Saturday report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Joliet, Ill.-based My Free Travel had taken over a voucher program from BBZ Resource Management--which had operated the voucher program for around 1,000 retailers nationwide--after BBZ declared bankruptcy in June. My Free Travel now has ceased operations.

St. Louis area furniture stores who'd used the promotions include Rothman Furniture, Ashley Furniture and the Bedroom Store. The retailers are looking for assistance in resolving the vouchers, or managing the program themselves now.
