A bit extreme, but true. I fucking hate gift cards. 'oh but this one is branded visa and you can use it anywhere' well I want to deposit it in my bank account but they won't let me do that directly noooo so I have to send you the money you just gave me in this moronic format through fucking PayPal which will take a 3% cut so that you can send it back to me with less value so I can finally transfer it to my bank account. Plus whatever shitty fee that you paid to get this garbage piece of plastic.
It took years of me saying 'just CASH' to family members, and eventually they started giving my gift cards, to which I recited a variation of this message, and the last few years they fiiiiiiinally have been just writing me checks.
It took like 15 years but I get all my gift, you save 'card fees', no bullshit middle-man, everyone wins.
