our money expert, jennifer westhoven is here.r how it could have changed that situation. >> it's hard to know how it would have affected the situation. because some of the things we're getting are contrary, right. like you heard some of the flyers say, we had to fight and argue to try to get off the plane. and then the airline saying, no, we gave them a choice, so it's hard to know exactly what happened. but maybe they would have made a difference here, under the new rules, if you're stuck on the ground for more than three hours you must be given the choice to return to the gate and maybe go into the airport. or else the airline could face big fines. and you know, i think maybe in this case, you're doing well for your flight attendants by doing that, right. when you've got a planeful of angry people who haven't eaten and feel that they're in trouble, somebody is having a panic attack -- what's going on there? advocates for the flyers say, these new rules don't even go far enough. they want more protections in an upcoming bill abo

jennifer westhoven is looking out for you. >> hi, natasha.s to keep you from getting blindsided and ripped off from gift cards that you put away and slowly the store is sipping little bits from the top. first of all, in these new rules, no more fees until a full year after you bought your card. sometimes for a store you're not used to going to. plus, the cards can't expire for five years. when, poof, all of the value is gone. these new rules are for both store cards and credit card gift cards. the rules will kick in in august, there will still be fees after some of these periods. these stores have to monitor the programs, but the stores have to be straight with you and tell you about the fees when you buy them, not some tiny little fine print or if you look on this website, you can find the fine print. the best advice, though, use your gift cards quickly. natasha, i'm just not talking about fees. the main reason people don't use their gift cards, they lose them. they forget about them. just go and use them. >> good advice, jen, taken. thank y
