GMT’s Update on their special offer for COVID layoff casualties:
Update on the Tough Economy Special. In the week that we ran this special, we were overrun with applications. We’re happy that we were able to approve and respond to virtually everyone who applied: 1,296 customers! It’s sobering to hear the stories of so many who have lost jobs during this time. Thank you for sharing them with us and allowing us to help, even if it’s in a small way. For those of you who participated in this 2020 version of our Tough Economy Special, we hope that the game(s) you receive bring you many hours of stress relief, distraction, learning, and fun. And we hope your respective work situations improve quickly. God bless you all!
