Left over GiftCard money

Monday, October 27th, 2008

In the last two weeks I noticed it twice that when I used a giftcard I had a little bit of money left. One time it was $0.02 and one time it was $0.06 not much you would think and both time the cashier wanted to keep the card.

Yeah right this is an easy way for a company to make an extra buck with all those loose pennies that nobody uses they make some free profit.

I was thinking do many of you notice this happening? Maybe we can collect them all and move them on 1 card instead of lots of card of a couple of cents and then give them to a good cause that can use it.

Any idea’s on this? I am willing to do what it takes but I will need the cards to do it. Till now I got:

Coop $0.02

Sport Check $0.06

One way people geting more and more in debt is Credit Cards and not just because we use them but because we create an balance on them.

And as most of us know by now interest rates on a credit card are HIGH way to high. Most of my credit cards charge around 19% interest and that is just insane.

If you have credit card debt then maybe you should go talk to your bank and see if you can open a normal loan or line of credit. Interest rates will be much lower and should be below 10% and that means by doing that you save 9% every month.

My advice pay of you credit card every month when the bill comes. Just use the credit for emegencies and other wise just teach youself to use you credit card as a debit card with extra’s. I love the free stuff like airmiles that you get on a credit card but I pay my bill of as soon as it hits my mailbox.
