Comment on In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card

Gift cards say, “I could have just given you cash, but I wasn’t considerate enough to also give the freedom to buy what you want. I have therefore restricted you to store of my choosing, for if I cared at all about you, I’d actually have been able to buy a suitable gift myself.”

Gift cards are great for family members who have addiction issues 🤷♀️

They’re also great for the people in your life who you know are too practical to buy themselves something nice with gifted cash

can confirm. every time i get a gift card I’m as annoyed that I can’t use it for rent as I am excited to be “forced” to get myself a goddamn fancy coffee or whatever
that being said when I was truly desperate in college I did used to sell them online using various exchanges. i usually got $0.70 on the dollar which wasn’t terrible
