I live with my parents so I don’t pay rent or buy groceries right now. As far as I can tell there is no way to convert the gift cards into money (into my bank account). I can’t add them to Amazon or PayPal or use them to pay off any debt.
Is my only option to literally keep track of how much is left on these gift cards everytime I go out? I have like $550 in gift cards from work that I have received over the last 2 years and never used.
How is a generic, visa card unusable?
If it’s not a gift card for a specific store, you can just use it anywhere to buy anything. Next time you need to buy anything, use it.
I guess you should keep track of it, but simple subtraction shouldn’t be hard. But you don’t have to, just keep using it till there’s nothing left on it.
