Gift Cards Are The Worst Possible Gift In 2008

Ok, this is for real... No matter what you do, DO NOT BUY ANYONE GIFT CARDS FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!!

Sorry for the caps, but it had to be said. It had to be said loudly.

You see, gift cards are considered a loan to the company on the card. That means that if they go into bankruptcy, as many retailers will this year (right after Christmas), you will join the list of creditors awaiting bankruptcy hearings and your cut of the fire sale profits.

NO!!... You do not get to use your gift card, even if the store stays open in bankruptcy.

NO!!... You will not ever see a dime for this purchase!

Yes!!... Every retailer, other than Wal-mart, is in danger this year. And if you buy someone a Wal-mart gift card for Christmas, you are a douche.

Don't buy gift cards... ever again.

I agreewith this. Walmart is bad for everyone. They may be the cheapest but they sell it for less while hurting us by buying foreign goods. They are China's #1 importer.
