I think its really stupid that you cant get cash back on a gift card.
I mean I have seen people buy something in march for a friends bday in august , they tell the clerk that its a bday present and the only reason they are getting it now is because its onsale. The person buying it asks is there a way to return it if soandsos doesnt like it and because shes getting it so far in advance. On that note they print up an extra receipt with out the price on it so that IF by chance the person you are giving it to doesnt like it they can come back and buy something that is to their liking. But its the same thing if you dont use the whole amount they dont give you the difference they throw the money on a gift card or a store credit and those are just as bad, because they do the same things as the card, count down every penny. Doesnt make sense if you ask me. You have proof where the card was bought I mean how hard is it to miss WALMART or STAPES or whatever the name of the company is.
People are doing that a lot for christmas bonuses around here because the government is coming down on them for having to pay tax on it, which is another thing thats rediculous.
