Pull out the gift cards!

scaeagles · 07-16-2006, 01:49 PM

We regularly get Starbucks gift cards from students in my wife's 6th grade class. Not even just at Christmas or her birthday, but homeroom moms typically organize the students to purchase a teacher appreciation gift weekly.

Problem is neither of us like coffee or any other beverage they sell at Starbucks.

We often regift them.

We even used to pay a babysitter coffee-a-holic with them at twice the cash rate we'd pay her. Was a good deal for both of us.

We're cleaned out now, but if anyone has stuff to trade for Starbucks gift cards, we'll be awash in them at the end of August (my wife's birthday is Aug 26).

Hmmm....I got a World Market card from last Christmas that has probably expired ($10), and $20 Banana Republic, a Starbucks with about $2.00 left on it and some Too Bucks from the Limited Too, worth $25 apiece when you spend $50 or more.

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.)
