Tommytuna34 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was just thinking about how I usually have left over giftcards with about $2 or less on them and I usually just throw them away. So I figured, why not start a thread where people can post and share those left over amounts with people on here who might be buying from that website? I wish I had one to post right now, but like I said, I usually throw all the left over change away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conj Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't throw them out... I either use them next time or hand them to the person behind me in line... you throw them out? really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsa3janes Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 If I am out shopping and a gift card has less than $2 I give it to the next person in line. If I am on-line I ususally try to find something, like upgraded shipping cost, that will use the difference. Even if I spend and extra $1 it is better than throwing away gift card with a balance. I think there is already a thread for this type of giving/trading on this board. Sorry I can't remember the name but I'm sure someone will know.

hpowers Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have handfuls of gift cards for restaurants. We get them as incentives from work and it is really frustrating keeping up with what's left on them. I finally started carrying a sharpie and writing on the back what's left.

mesarobins Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have a Best Buy GC with .12 left on it and a McDonalds GC with .02 but I am not tossing, if I see a penny on the ground I will pick it up so I will use these the next time I am at that place, it will cover part of tax. The frustrating thing about McD GC (Arch card) is that you can't reload them unless they are empty. So I have 2 both linked to my uPromise acct that I take turns emptying and reloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassercc Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i always use every cent off of my gc. i usually take all of those weird gc amounts to walmart and give them each one until all the balances are gone and then pay any difference. never had a problem.
