I voted "It Depends" because there seems to be some sort of scandal going around here, where the gift card actually looses value- eventually to zero- if its not used within a specified amount of time. Then they charge administrative fees to them too. This gift card would NOT be a good idea.


A walmart gift card, on the other hand, doesn't have these kinds of restrictions/expiration dates etc and so it would be a better gift card to give.

Then it depends on the receiver. If while my mother was still living gift cards were as popular as they are now, she would have had a hissy. She was a stickler for finding the appropriate gift for the receiver and giving them what they wished for. Giving cash and gift cards was taboo for her, so I knew better than to give her one, but that didn't stop me from giving them to others.
