Yeah, that's what I did. Have to turn on advanced user to add a rule, but it keeps it when you uncheck advanced user afterwards (because I don't want to deal with manually setting everything else anyway)

Giftcards are the worst. "couldn't be hosed doing anything other than locking you into one shop that may have conditions of use". It's worse than cash, and it's not really a gift. Just send cash or a proper thoughtful gift. I have strong opinion on this because amazon is poo poo, plus I never bothered to cash in a gift card most times. $$$$ wasted by the people that bought them for me and now I wouldn't get anything decent for them ever. The few I used was to buy a gift for someone else next christmas I think. I'm fussy and get what I want where I want and don't carry giftcards around everywhere with me so they are often forgotten (plus often not valid where I want to get something right now) A gift card is the lamest thing ever. Shops that sell them suck, people that buy them are fools. Stick cash in a card or something jeez. It's like treating your friends and family like hobos begging for money. "no, I won't give you cash because you'll use it for drugs/booze, but I'll bring you food/a blanket". Like "can't trust this person with cash they'll use it for blow and hookers" type poo poo and retailers feed on that and hope all the people you buy gift cards for never use them.

spog posted:Did a gift card murder your dog? No but it's the laziest commercialism poo poo ever. like " i don't care if you can't make rent or want a steak dinner for the first time in years, but you'll buy a trinket from this shop and like it because it's from meeeeeeeeeeee" Seriously, put cash in a card or do a bank transfer and save the "buy something from here and it's from meeeeeee" bullshit. Plus the fact shops love them because they hope many are never cashed in aspect (a lot of people get stung when places go bankrupt and gift cards aren't honoured. Why the gently caress do people buy them? There's no benefit, only downsides. If it wasn't $-$ they might make sense, but $-$ it's a benefit to the retailer and less reward plus more risk for the buyer. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Dec 3, 2018 |

Goober Peas posted:I dunno, I'm pretty appreciative when someone gives me something Why a gift card over cash? The annoying thing to me is the places selling them and promoting them convincing people it's a gift, ie buy this instead of giving them cash.

I hate them due to how many have not been used, or retailer went bust. There's no reason for loving giftcards.InitialDave posted:Partly to show you put at least some thought in, "I know you like shopping here, but I don't know precisely what you want/need". And back around in a circle it comes. "I know you need money to buy things you like, but I don't know precisely what you want/need, here's some money" The whole gift card angle is not necessary. People buy them because ? It's an inferior form to regular cash. Shops go bust, people forget them, they expire, people don't find what they really need at that shop and have to pay cash elsewhere?

I feel a gift card is impersonal, but also it's limiting?Applebees Appetizer posted:Here's some cash that you'll put in your wallet and probably spend on a sub sandwich on your lunch break or other dumb poo poo that's not a gift. Good. Now read what I posted. That's treating people (like friends and family) like homeless hobos. Oh it's gift season. Can't give them cash that may provide a meal or roof over their head. Let's give gift cards this gift season. That way when they spend it, it will be a gift from meeeee even though I can't be bothered with them in any aspect. E: not expecting any BTW, just thinking about the $$$ wasted on them. For many years I was trying to get my family to forget about all gifts and just have a decent party. IE someone buy a few cartons of beer, someone buy wine etc. Others spend up on seafood because it's summer here, and those that can cook make a table spread of sides, desserts etc. Share the load with x$ per head, just have a party with good food and drink.
