I finally had to ask my son and DIL not to get me JoAnn's gift cards. I had one that I didn't need to use in there so asked for the cash back cause there was something in a LQS I wanted. No way would they give me the money so I just went and got a bunch of stuff I really didn't need! I over did it and had to have them subtract things before the cost met the card total. I didn't feel bad that they had to do that. It would have been so simple to give me the money!
I used to give people gift cards but now just give them cash. I'm tired of the rules for the cards.
