Gift Certificates

Julie asked:


This store my friend loves only gives out old fashioned gift certificates. They don’t have any gift cards!
Aren’t the paper gift certificates a bit tacky? Should I just get him something else or should I just get the gift certificates?

Pete asked:


I really don’t want to spend more than $200 all together including the gift certificates except for maybe a Wii.
Sorry, I also have a really good digital camera. I used to go into Best Buy all the time and bought all kinds of stuff. Now my birthday just passed and people got me these gift certificates. I can’t think of anything I need. Thanks for your help.

I have about $80 in best buy gift certificates. What thing(s) should I get?

Gift certificates are already paid for, it just seems wrong that they have an expiration date.

I just got $200 worth of gift certificates for one of the high end restaurants in the area from work as a bonus. What are your views on using them on a date?

This is the first time this has ever happened to me: I tried buying a gift certificate for $20 at a Virginia business — they said they had to charge tax and make the gift certificate $20.50 — I know it’s only 50 cents, but if they do that to all customers, that’s a bit of a scam, right?

I purchased a day spa business a month ago. The previous owner gave me $4500 credit towards gift certificate redeem, as she claimed there weren’t that much out there. However, just one month after the close of escrow, there were already more than $3000 worth of gift certifcate redeemed came forward. My concern is, the business will be hurt if I don’t honor past gift certificate; however I can not afford keep doing this, especially without knowing how much are really out there because the previous owner did not have any record to trace. I couldn’t even tell the authenticity of those gift certificates as a lot of them don’t have date of issue, or number, or even value. I am stuck here, please help.

Rhiannon asked:


I got my father’s old gift certificates for Holt’s as a little gift before going away to Italy but I have yet to use them because I am wondering if they are even still valid. They do not have an expiration date but these are REALLY old, they are two $100 holt renfrew “bills”.
