Why are people stupid enough to pay money to give money at Christmas?

In the form of gift cards that charge a nice little purchase fee up front?

Stop padding the bottom line of the credit card companies and banks and just give me the fricking cash!

Yes I think it is a rip off.

I was going to get somebody a Visa gift card but Visa wanted $3.95 to load it. I decided to get an Amazon gift card instead. No fee with the Amazon card.

We went to cash several years ago. With gift cards you are taking perfectly good cash and placing restrictions on it. The cash is always more useful.

The only exception is if you can buy discounted gift cards.

Scary, but that's probably got a lot to do with it.

People will just buy heroin if you give them cash.

I think most folks would prefer to avoid having to use the barter system. That's why I don't keep cartons of cigarettes or beaver pelts on me.

Bought a $100 gift card at Kroger for $105 and got 4X fuel points. Bought 30 gallons of gas for .40 off a gallon using fuel points from gift card purchase. Cost of gift card after fuel savings $93.
