    HI; I only get to read A&J about this time each day so I’m usually a day behind reading the retro A&J. Did JJ mention anything about the retro site being down for a few days? Or has it been hacked?

    Which reminds me, I have 6-7 bucks left on my gift card and another 5 on the rebate card, both need spending.

    It’s a miracle! Wish I could do that, I have 5 gift cards sitting on my shelf with between $1 and $3.50 on them all from different places. AARRGG!

    I bought $50.54 on a $50 M&M gift card – had to use Visa to pay the difference ‘cause I didn’t have any loose change

    Guess no one has figured out that one use the ‘gift card’ just as another means of payment – when one if finished pull out another, or pay the difference. I routinely have 3 or more when going to Target and still need a credit card to complete the purchase. What’s annoying is when a sales associate tells me how much I ‘saved’ by buying things on sale / with a card – no I haven’t saved anything: I spent money or money equivalents – if I hadn’t shopped I’d still have the money and that would then be saved.

    My wife and I had a $100 IKEA gift card. We packed about 20 or 25 little things into our shopping cart while I mentally calculated the total cost, and we wound up spending $100.01. I can’t tell you how elated and proud I was when I handed the cashier that penny!!!

    Several years ago I spent half of my South-American-River gift card and went back to use more of it on two separate occasions and each time a chunk had disappeared from it. Turns out they were charging me a processing fee for not using it all at once, and they pocketed a sizable amount from the original without telling me nor the person who’d paid for it. They must have done it to too many people because it eventually made the news. Not sure they still try that.

    I hate gift cards. When we used to get gifts we would end up with cards to the oddest stores. Now the only gift we get – and it is on a visa gift card – is from husband’s sister’s MIL who has no money and should waste it on same (no, really, she lives in a family member’s garage – she has no money). We have to take it or she gets highly insulted – and no, we don’t give a gift to her, hoping she will stop. It is for $25. We put it aside until we pick up a box of my husband’s insulin and use it all up on that (plus another $75 to $375 depending on the time of year). And a waste to pay $5 fee for it.

    Christmas 2017 we bought husband’s then 7 yo niece a gift card for Best Buy for her to use towards a video game (also $25). I lost it between bringing it home and wrapping gifts 2 days later. We gave her cash. When I went to put up the Christmas trees this year, I found the card in one of the boxes (I was sure I had thrown it out). Well, we won’t give her anything for BB any longer as she is a major video game addict – plays constantly and hits herself in the head with the game if she loses, so we were stuck with the card as we don’t shop there. I need to buy software for tax prep which was $35 at Walmart where I normally buy it and the same – when they finally got it in – at Best Buy. So I bought it at Best Buy and paid the other $10 plus tax – relieved we had gotten rid of the darn card. Nooooo. They handed me a $5 gift card that I was “entitled to”. What the heck are we are going to do with that? It will end up in my wallet for another year until I have to buy the software again?

    Then there was the year someone gave us Christmas gift cards for CompUSA – and they went out of business right after Christmas and would not even take them at their going out of business sale so they were junk. The year someone gave me a card for some clothing store that I could and would never buy anything in. Probably around the house somewhere.
