The Joint Administrators to HMV today confirmed that gift cards can be redeemed in stores from Tuesday 22 January.
Additionally, the Joint Administrators said that proceeds raised by HMV through the sale of charity releases (including the Hillsborough Justice Collective single) will be paid in full as soon as possible.
Despite news that the administrators have been called in, HMV has announced that its stores are open and trading as normal. However, it is not currently accepting gift vouchers or issuing any more until further notice.
In a statement issued on Monday night it said: "The board regrets to announce that it has been unable to reach a position where it feels able to continue to trade outside of insolvency protection and in the circumstances, therefore intends to file notice to appoint administrators to the company and certain of its subsidiaries with immediate effect."
Coming hard on the heels of the failure of Comet late last year and Jessops earlier this year, Music and DVD chain HMV, has confirmed it will appoint an administrator, making it the latest High Street casualty.
