When I would receive in the past, I made a point to try &
use the entire balance for one purchase.
At one time there was a transaction fee, which would eat away
at the balance, as well as a monthly fee if remained dormant
for a period of time.
I would use the entire balance in one transaction either at the
grocery store, buying stables, or place the entire balance
on my Starbucks gold card.
No more forgotten gift cards in my wallet or desk drawer
worth nothing. Get it, use entire balance, cut up, forget.
