$3,000 is no small amount of money, do people really feel so much shame in giving someone plain old money that they have to buy a gift card?
A gift card is almost like buying a stock, except it's much more risky and gives you zero benefits compared to the cash that paid for it. If you want someone to be able to travel for $3,000 just give them $3,000.
- ljm 7y agoSome places will try to offer refunds or compensation in the form of gift cards or store credit, which ostensibly makes it a non-refund in many cases. Voluntarily spending £3k on a gift card seems utterly insane. I imagine a lot of people would feel quite confused or upset about that considering what they could also spend a few grand on.
