[quote=Anonymous]The only ones I like are the ones where I can transfer the value to a stored account. Like Amazon or Starbucks or airline or Airnbnb. Otherwise, I have to really plan purchases so I can exhaust the value of the card first and hopefully be able to pay the difference with cash (for example, if I go to a restaurant and I have a gift card for $50 and the bill is $75, will they allow me to essentially just pay $25.). Even Amazon won't drain the gift card/credit balance first. You have to be careful. I really dislike having cards with 2 or 3 dollars on it because it was a $100 gift card and the purchase came to $97.33 or whatever. EXCEPTION: I do like to get gift cards from Costco where you pay like $75 for $100 worth of gift cards. I did this for Southwest Airlines once -- paid $450 for $500 gift card and then used the gift card to buy flights. Saved 10% right there.[/quote]
