Been there! Some advice: Spend the gift card within 48-hours of receiving it. Wild how many go unused.

Love this! Can you list out the secondary markets to resell? Flashed too quickly to take notes!

Search for "gift card exchange"--there are many.

In addition, what about company bankrupcy - Blockbuster is a personal example. Great overview - thanks

You can send me your unused gift cards, Noelle - I'll treat my kids.

Better to give open loop gift card like visa pre-paid that can be used in any store, much better is cash which is common to gift in India

[@CindyMeitle]

Agreed, and people can actually pay bills like their cell phone and cable/internet, and buy food with them, significant value to the recipient.

I have a $10 gift card to a store I don't really care for where you can't get anything for $10.... so to use the gift card, I'd need to go into a place I don't like to spend money I don't want to spend to buy something I don't want. Seems legit.
