I totally agree about using up those Gift Cards. Don't throw away money.

Everytime a Gift Card goes unused or expires, a corporate angel gets its wings.

It's good that CA has a law like that. I'm wondering if other states have similar laws...

Expiration dates are only permitted in very particular circumstances in WA: RCW 19.240.030. (Short version: If you paid money for it, it doesn't expire.)

DF - who's your supplier? Seems you could live off your gift cards for a week at least.

Slow down there, hot shot. There's a Maggie Moo's in Lake Forest.

I just heard that quote as if some gangster in a hat, in an old 30's movie was saying it.

I've got a $10 driving range card that's probably got about $7 worth of golf balls left on it.

*American Express Gift Card~ $100 (Amex gift cards & checks are the ABSOLUTE. I love them!!!!)
*American Express Gift Check~ $50
*Starbucks~ $25 (coffee is my crack)
*Black Market/White House~ $50 (the most gorgeous clothes! All in black, white & ivory)
*Bath & Bodyworks~ $25 (wait..lotions & potions are my crack)
*Steinmart~ $50 (Allymart)
*Sephora~ ??? (okay, okay....lipgloss is my crack)

I keep them all neatly filed away. At home. They should be filed under "B" for bonehead, because honestly, how can they be spent tucked away at home? I need to file them neatly in my purse! At times I go out & I'm like, I wish I had that gift card!

I love gift cards. I think they are such a clever & fun idea! :snap: :)

Oh, looks like anything good for stuff is being listed.

I do have two free passes for Regal/UA/Edwards cinemas because of the fire alarm going off when we saw Pirates last weekend.

Hey CP you might have the germ of a good idea here....

How about this for an idea:

Cards for Kids

Donate your used gift cards with leftover amounts to charity. They are easy to mail and most people never use those last few $$ anyway.... but if you add them up, it could come to some nifty amounts for books, equipment or lot's of double-shot espressos to keep the kiddies awake...

Ya wanna register a non-profit?
