The way it’s described, it’s like a gift to the shop rather than to the card recipient.
Couldn't they have given it as a gift? No money involved.
no gift is ever free. that is the problem.
Send me some gift cards and we can solve this.
Just write something else in the To/From details? Or buy a physical gift card.
Ah, didn't realize that. Maybe gifting or something would work.
I need something related to gift. More specific someting you want to receive as gift, u know?
People won't accept gifts. Give a "loan" but treat it like a gift --never mention the balance ask for the repayments.
Ah, so they just assume it wasn't spent already because it was a gift. Yeah might make a fun gift.
I would say money instead of giftcards then make a nice card with the intend, that way it doesnt rot in shelf somewhere and will hold value..
