GreatWhiteNorth Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Yes, I do. I agree that your ATM, debit, and credit cards are not currency. Because they are tied to you and cannot be exchanged with others. My gift card has no bond to a specific person. It can be readily exchanged. It is accepted as payment within a limited group. It is therefore, by definition, "currency." Because my gift card is tied to a specific merchant/brand, it is considered "branded currency." Yes, it is indeed a real thing. The IRS considers employer given gift cards as "cash equivalent" and are taxed as wages. I would prefer a turkey, which is considered a fringe benefit and is untaxed. And is also sooo delicious: Edited November 16, 2022 by GreatWhiteNorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Brixton Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I always felt guilty giving gift cards as presents. It lacks the thoughtfulness of a gift tailored to the recipient but you're restricting where they can spend the cash. Many of them go unredeemed so it works out for the stores.

I’ll keep my B1G+ subscription for now and think about Flo as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
