A credit card is a card to say “these people will pay you and I’ll owe them money”
With a gift card, you’re choosing items that have already been paid for, the company already got the money and you’re just picking out what you want to buy with it

Do people actually lose/forget about gift cards?
All the time.

I think that’s why companies sell gift cards. They get money and half the time don’t have to actually give away any merchandise
They don’t expire in Canada
Or in California. For the USians, you can probably call and complain that you live in CA and have them reissue it.
In CA, they also have to pay out in cash if it’s less than $10 and you request it.
🤣 TIL
Yeah. People lose pretty much anything a lot. And if you have a card to a place you never go to, or don’t even have nearby it can easily be forgotten after a while.
A lot of it, though, is having just a few cents left on the card and then just tossing it because it’s not worth saving. When added up, that’s a lot of money just being thrown away.
Some gift cards are also not a very good fit. I know that from personal experience ;)
