I think there is also the point of trying to restrict what the card receiver can buy. Most people when giving a gift card do it so hopefully the person buys something that is a gift like a dvd rather than food/rent/alcohol ect
Yeah, which is fucking stupid. If you don't have the relationship to know what the person actually wants or needs, why bother with giving them something that's kind of like cash, but can't actually be used to pay for what they want or need?
