Posted October 30, 2019 I know odd question, but I won one at work through a contest. How common is this to be given to a lady? I mean you can verify it has money on the phone on a few minutes when there. But still just wondering.v 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're regifting, why not show your appreciation to your favorite provider, or a new gem you've found, who goes above and beyond for you. ❤❤❤ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recommend against trying to use it as payment. Providers see scams frequestly, including empty gift cards, and fake cards. I doubt many providers would accept it as payment. Cash is king! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2019 If you are trying to use it as a payment method, some may not accept it, but as others have said if you are using it as a gift or tip, I see no problem with it. I guess it honestly depends on what kind of gift card it is and how much it is for on whether or not someone would accept it as partial payment. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because how it can be used is the key. $100 gift card for Red Lobster definitely a tip. Cant pay rent ect without cash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are now apartment complexes in Denver that only accept cards for payment. No direct deposit, no bank transfers, no cash, no checks. But for visiting a lady, cash is king. There are many threads on this subject. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2019 I've used them for tips. But for payment, anything other than cash feels sketchy unless agreed upon beforehand. And if I was a working girl, I wouldn't agree to anything other than case for my base pay. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At some point there has to be a financial institution involved. I can see cutting out checks for the obvious reasons. Bad or insufficient funds. Also cuts out some paperwork for the staff. Direct deposit would go right to the account that the cards do. I don't understand that part. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2019 For a woman, way too risky, right? There is someone I see who MAYBE would accept it in lieu of cash or as an adjunct, but I would never offer it in the first place. KISS principle. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when you find out their favorite places, I have never missed with a Starbucks card. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2019 As others have said - they're great tips if they're for specific places. I'll accept a Visa gift card as a form of payment after funds have been verified but that is the only type. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2019 jesus i'm so naive - i would have never thought that you could give away a visa gift card with no money on it?!?! Once you buy them they are sealed in those cardboard envelope like containers and you have to open them to activate them with a concealed PIN to use them. How could you do that and have no money on the card? Or can people buy a $0.00 balance gift card? Never seen that denomination in the gift card podiums at the supermarkets? someone splain it to me please.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No payment involved. The people who steal from providers, steal everything else, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
