Gift Cards solution?
After reading this post on TechCrunch it seems that there are a lot of unused gift cards floating around out there.

I certainly don’t...

Can’t sleep, so I am doing research on this whole Black Friday extravaganza thing # It’s 4:18 on BF- I have already showered & had my QT, currently making coffee # On the way to Best Buy with coffee, biscuit, Moto Q & steering wheel in hand, that can’t be safe # They have porta-jons outside Best Buy # So the line wraps around half the parking lot at Best Buy, so onto...

Deep thoughts: Impersonal Gift Cards
Seth had a great post here about gift card usage. My current pet peeve is the Visa gift cards because you have to know your balance before you make the purchase so that you can tell the cashier how much to put against the Visa gift card.
