·This story from Bankrate (on the Dollar Stretcher) has just about convinced me to go back to sending a check, or just giving cash to people in person for presents again (to save on shipping costs).

Gift cards used to be a nice way to sort of "make sure" that someone bought something nice for themselves that they would like but not any more. Also, I think that they are yet another sneaky way, especially for companies marketing the credit card/debit gift cards, to get more people on their mailing lists.
So from now on, if you give someone money, and they tell you they used it to pay bills with, be happy you could help with that!
