CHICAGO, Oct 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Just in time for the holiday shopping season, General Growth Properties, Inc. has unveiled its new mall gift card - the Shop Etc. Gift Card.

"Whether you are funds-frugal or fashion-forward, our gift card suits you with more flexibility and choices," said Wally Brewster, senior vice president of marketing and communications for General Growth Properties. "This partnership with American Express gives GGP Shop Etc. card-holders a gift card with no post-purchase fees and no expiration of funds. It is a key to our great shopping centers where visitors find value in the form of enormous selections of brand, quality and price. Some store cards offer one card for one store brand. We offer one-card access to top-quality brands, scores of stores and wide choices for every budget."
"More than ever, shoppers are looking for value, service and ways to stretch a dollar. Our GGP Shop Etc. Gift Card is many gifts wrapped in one. It's a gift that won't be returned and it will always be the perfect fit. It also comes with exclusive offers from many retailers," Brewster said.
