I found $20!

March 25th, 2021 at 09:20 pm

I found a rewards card from my job and I checked and there was $20 on there. I hate using these prepaid credit cards so I used it to pay my electric bill $20 so I wiped the card clean and don't have to worry about not using it or losing it.  I find it easiest to use them immediately and on something like a bill because trying to track prepaid VISA cards are ridiculous.

But I'm also going to try and use up all of our gift cards for restaurants and stuff this summer.  My goal is to be done with them so that if they go out of business or something we aren't out of luck!

Last year my DK1 sold 800 boxes of girl scout cookies.  She chose the American Girl experience which they gave us in the form of a gift card in lieu of the tea party.  Well turns out the store in our area shut down and we hadn't had a chance to use it. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. I am unsure what I should do.  Should we try and sell it at a gift card reseller?  Should we divide it up (it's $140) to say $25 gift cards and give them as gifts to kids whose birthday's we go to?  

This is probably why it doesn't make sense to keep gift cards except maybe starbucks and target.  Where are those places going?

    I'd try to sell it. This is one reason I don't like gift cards or gift certificates...you never know if a business is going to shut down.
