If you have not noticed, there is an explosion in the use of gift cards. People are using them for gifts as well as in other ways. Movie rentals offer discount gift cards to create loyalty and increase sales. McDonalds has gift cards.
The trouble if someone gives you a store gift cards is that you may not want to buy at that store. Now there are alternatives. You can get a universal prepaid gift card or even an reloadable prepaid debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo. Another option is to trade your gift card online for a gift card you really want.
