Except when I get 20% off the gift card, and use it for stuff I was already going to buy. Like food.

- refurb 5y agoExactly. Not all gift cards are created equal. I got Visa cash gift cards from my employer as small bonuses. The terms sucked - don't use it and you get hit with a fee, it had an expiration date that cost money to "renew", etc. Amazon's gift card policy is great. The money just sits in your account, doesn't expire, can be used for anything (except other Amazon gift cards) and there is no fee to reload it with a credit card AND you can reload with an exact amount. So as soon as I got a crappy visa gift card, I'd just transfer 100% of the money to Amazon and spend it down over the next year. It was a perfect solution.
- MaxBarraclough 5y agoHere in the UK there used to be a website for buying and selling gift cards (called Zeek). As you'd expect, the market value of a £100 gift card depended on the popularity of the issuing retailer. (Amazon vouchers would sell very quickly and for close to face value.) That website has since disappeared, but you can still do the same thing on eBay.
