Gift cards are a scam even when used "correctly". Its whole purpose is to convert fungible money into something worse and conning you into thinking it's a good deal.
- jychang 3y agoWhen used “correctly”, it comes with a discount, like say $100 amazon gift card for $90. Not a bad deal if you were going to spend that money anyways.
- Nextgrid 3y agoWhere do you get discounted gift cards? I just checked two major retailers in the UK and they only sell those at face value. I wonder if those "discounted" cards you see are actually an artifact of money laundering where illicitly-obtained cards (from victims of phone scams?) are being laundered.
