I loved shopping at Burlington, but I decided to try their layaway program TWO days ago. I decided to do a little school shopping early. But yesterday I was able to get the same amount of clothes for under $100 from another store that I was going to be paying almost $400 for at Burlington. I went today to cancel the layaway, and was advised that you can only receive a store credit when you cancel the layaway, so I said that I would just purchase the items and them return them, and they said still will be a store credit. I put half of the money down for the layaway, instead of the minimum. They purposely don't tell you that just to make sure that they get your money either way. Once I spend this store credit, I will never shop at Burlington again, just based off of this experience. They could have advised me upfront, then I would have known and not been blind sided. I would have also just paid the minimum, because I knew that it was a possibility that I would cancel if I found a better deal, which I did.
