Then again, some people think that the disadvantage of gift cards is that they limit you to purchasing with one store. But if you really are predisposed to spending most of your money on one store, then that would not be a problem at all.

If you are looking to buy a gift card either for yourself or for others, then you need to follow a few pointers to avoid potential pitfalls to the use of gift cards. These tips will help you protect your interests and the interests of those you plan to give the gift cards to in the first place.

Gift Card Terms

The first thing you have to consider is the terms of the gift check. As with any purchase you always have to read the fine print before deciding on anything. The details on gift cards vary per store, and most stores have different promotions for their purchases.

Look at the details if it mentions anything about the expiry date of the gift card. This is very important as you could very well be purchasing a card that is close to expiry, or might be the expiry date comes across as too narrow for your liking.

Look at the special terms for purchases – are there any special provisions or requirements when you make a purchase? Is there a spending limit per day? What becomes of your credit if you are not able to fully use up a gift card?

You will have to consider all these things before purchasing the card. If you can create a matrix of differing cards for sale, then this will help you make better decisions, especially if you can create a list of pros and cons of each variant.

You should also look at how much you can save by the use of this card. You should be able to save a good amount of money from the use of gift cards. If you do not, then there is no use for you to be purchasing a gift card in the first place.

Your Store of Choice

When purchasing a card, make sure the store it is attached to is a store you are likely to visit. Or, if you are giving this card away as a gift, then you will have to find the store that appeals the person you are giving it to. You dont want to get stuck with a card you will never end up using because the store attached to it offers nothing you are interested in anyway.

Place of Purchase

The best place to get legitimate gift cards are is the store itself. Ask the customers service representative where you can avail of gift cards. You could even ask if you could get them for a better price. Even if you do not get a discount, the question would not hurt. Also, if you do get the discount then it would be worth your while.

There are some that sell gift cards and such. Of course, there is an inherent risk with buying such cards. These cards could be stolen, forged, counterfeit, or expired. While these cards give you great savings many people buy such cards whenever possible they could also be a big headache if you purchase the wrong cards. While buying gift cards from other individuals isnt really illegal, you should still exercise caution when buying such cards.

Trusted sellers are a rarity nowadays

Of course, you still can find those that sell such cards at lower prices than even the participating stores do. Since stores do not return money for any unused gift cards, holders of these cards have no choice but to sell them to other individuals if they arent keen on using the gift cards themselves.

Does anyone remember seeing this screen shot of FreeGiftCard.Info? Yuck! Okay, two things. I was in a hurry and there was no such thing as Web 2.0 design. That’s still no excuse for the bare knuckles design of this free gift card site. But, as they say, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”

We’ve relaunched FreeGiftCard.Info with a new design and ability to post lots of free content very fast. You’re going to love it. Now, let’s find some gift cards!

Never mind that many of us buy our Christmas gifts at the last minute. What about those of us who procrastinate in actually wrapping the present for the relative you haven’t seen in a year? Well, we waited until the very last minute this year so we threw all the gift wrapping supplies into the car and hit the road. Don’t, I mean, do, try this at home as opposed to the car

Don’t know what to buy everyone for Christmas? Just found out about a birthday party and need a last minute birthday gift? The easy solution is to buy a gift certificates or gift card, especially if the person you are buying for has a favorite place to shop. But there are some issues you should remember before buying that gift card. Example, some gift cards expire, others can only be used at the location you bought them from.

There may be activation fees, transaction fees, inactivity fees, and replacement fees that can eat up a lot of the value of the card. Now the gift card isn’t looking like such a good idea, is it? It’s not all doom and gloom, lets have a look at what you should be looking for before you hand over your hard earned cash.

Retailers that sell gift cards do not normally charge for the card itself. Banks however do for the most part charge a fee whenever the card is used. Most bank issued cards come with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that can be used like an ATM card. You should definitely read the fine print before you buy the card, by law they have to list all the charges. If you don’t have time to read them you can always talk to a representative and remember to document their name. If you are not satisfied with the terms them buy from somewhere else. You want to consider the fees because you really don’t want the recipients money wasted on fees alone. Finally before buying a store card make sure that the recipient can use the card in any store or on line.

Your gift card should be treated like cash, if it is lost or stolen you can report it but some issuers might not replace the card. If they didn’t use the card and it expired then contact the issuer of the gift card. The might be able to extend the expiration date but they will charge a fee for that. If you live in California your in luck the by law that gift cards or certificate can never expire. So if you find a certificate from years ago and it has an expiration date most companies will still take it.

If you, for any reason, have problems with the card or certificate you should contact the issuer. If they cannot help you, then file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov or call 1-877-FTC-HELP.

I gave a retail gift card to my nephew last year. My well kept 19- year old nephew usually feels he is being financially starved no matter how much money he is given. So the worry of the gift card expiring or incurring large fees was not my concern, he rushed to the store to use it the next day. What is my concern is that many people who buy and receive gift cards, be it, retail cards or bank cards, do not understand the limitations posed by these cards. This is evident from the ever-increasing complaints to consumer bureaus.

Most people don’t understand that when you purchase a gift card they are not necessarily equal to the cash paid for them over time. This is especially true of bank or mall gift cards. Mall gift cards are bank gift cards sold by a shopping mall complex.

To understand gift cards you should understand the following:

1. There Are Different Types
As mentioned before there are two types; the retail (store gift card) and the bank gift card (also mall gift card). There are marked differences between the two. Retail cards are the least expensive as far as fees are concerned, bank cards offer the highest potential for decreasing value over time due to the fact that many have excessive fees.

2. How They Are Used
Retail cards can be used at the store you purchased them at, and sometimes a sister store. Bank cards can be used anywhere bank cards are accepted and sometimes at ATM machines.

3. How They Make Their Money
Retail stores make their money from the purchase you make with your gift card. With bank cards its a whole different story. The bank cards make their money from the extensive fees charged for purchasing, owning, and using the card.

4. Fees Charged Can Be Hefty
Some retail gift cards charge a monthly non-use fee and will not replace lost or stolen cards, and may expire. Most bank cards charge a processing fee, a replacement card fee, an ATM fee, a telephone inquiry balance fee, a monthly maintenance fee, an expiration fee and some charge a fee to re-load the card.

5. You Can Counter The Fees
Before you buy a retail or bank card, read the fine print on the gift card, card jacket, or website. Understand the fine print and the cost associated with your particular card. Each card has a different set of rules.

Summary
Fees are usually charged with gift cards, much more so with bank cards than with retail cards. If you are given a gift card, use it right away. If you if you plan to give a gift card and you don’t think it will be used right away, give cash. Cash is still the least expensive, universally accepted gift.

Very simply, gift cards are like gift certificates and they can be purchased at most stores in a variety of amounts. They are the perfect gift to give for people of any age and with any taste. Think about the person you need to  purchase a gift for. Of course you know the basic details like their age and gender, but it might help to know if this person has any special hobbies or skills. If they love to snowboard perhaps you can get them a gift card from a  local snowboard shop. If you know a woman who loves to read there are countless bookstores that sell gift cards. So do a little bit of detective work to determine what kind of store your intended would enjoy gift cards from.

If you aren’t sure of any specific things that the person you are buying for enjoys, take heart, there are plenty of stores that sell gift cards to meet your shopping needs. Consider buying gift cards to department stores or other general stores that sell a variety of items. You can never go wrong purchasing gift cards at stores that offer many options.

Another great thing about purchasing gift cards for any occasion is that most people love receiving gift cards. Who doesn’t love being able to go into a store and spend their money on the thing they like most? Most everyone would prefer receiving gift cards over having people guess on items they will like, especially for important events like weddings. So, even if you feel like giving gift cards seems impersonal, think about how much your friend or loved one will appreciate your desire to have them pick out the gift they love the most.

Gift cards are great because they are quick and easy to buy. Simply place the gift card in a handwritten card and you have your gift taken care of. The person receiving the gift cards will also love how easy it is to save and then use their gift cards. They will not have to fake a smile or a thank you and they will not have to hassle with returning items that they will never use.

Everyone is better off when gift cards are given as gifts, so make a list of all the gift cards you need and then head off to purchase them. You will have your list complete in no time and your gift cards will be loved and appreciated by all who receive them.
