I saw on CNN's Headline News last week, that the popular Gift cards for
stores are not always redeemed in time. It seems reasonable enough,
being cards are lost, misplaced, or forgotten before they expired.
BestBuy (the consumer electronics store) reported that in 2005, the
amount of unredeemed BestBuy gift cards totaled $42 million dollars!
I wonder how much the other giants (Sears, Lowes, HD, etc.) gained in
unredeemed gift cards.



Gift cards are BS.

Forces you gift to be gotten at one place.

Equivalent of you going in to a store and playing for something without
taking is. They still have merchandise to sell and cash for cash flow.

You lose card, they still have cash often ending in 100% profit.
