How many people hate gift cards?

Question

when you open a card or a present and find a gift card in it what do you think, personally i would rather have it in cash so i can go somewhere else and buy what i really want. i hate how company's love to hold your money hostage and force you to buy their junk. and when everyone in your family gives you gift cards to different stores to where you cant combine them together it really pisses me off. what do you think about gift cards!

Answer 1

I personally like receiving gift cards...Even if it's at a place like Target or Wal-mart, it can always be used (even if it's not for an actual gift or something)  I make sure to tell my family if they do get me one, where from...good stores like, Victorias Secret or Bed Bath and Beyond.

Answer 2

I like gift cards, but I agree about not being able to combine cash.  Visa has a new gift card that you can use anywhere that takes Visa. Maybe you should drop a hint to your family and friends you would rather have that one :)
