Convert Your Visa Gift Cards
So while it sounds terrible to complain about a gift... I always hated it when people would give me those Visa or Discover gift cards. They are such a pain to manage and I've always had nothing but issues trying to use them. If you don' t have the full amount available on the card, some merchants won't let you use them. I would also be very careful about only using them for things that I knew I would never need to return... because what a nightmare that would be if you no longer had the card. Bottom line... I hate those things. But then a few months back, I had a revelation to simply use that Visa gift card to buy myself an Amazon Gift card (reload) and have it placed directly into my account. Regardless of the amount... whether it is some odd leftover like $23.78 or an even $100, you can load it to your Amazon gift card balance and dump those stupid Visa Gift cards. I know I'll definitely use the Amazon funds, and Amazons gift card balance management makes it incredibly convenient. Plus... some of those Visa and Discover gift cards lose value over time due to "maintenance fees." So if you're like me and hate dealing with those things, or throw them in a drawer and forget about them... do yourself a favor and convert them over to Amazon bucks. Life becomes so much easier!
