I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.
I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It’s just one more thing to worry about. “Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don’t know, it doesn’t say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it’s not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it”. And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

At least in Canada they can’t legally expire. But yes, not only that, but you also have to buy more stuff and add your own money if you want to completely empty the gift card, as you’ll never be able to get to that exact amount.
