I don't know what the "proper" thing to do is, but I know that when I receive a gift card, I like to know exactly what's on it before I try spending it.

So when I give a gift card, I usually write the amount on the card, if it isn't already on it. If I don't give them the receipt, I make sure to keep it until I know the card has been used, just in case the card didn't register properly and I need to prove it was purchased.

Same here, and I never get the kind that expire or have fees - nm

To Send Or Not To Send Christmas Cards? SmDec 17, 2010
In the age of cell phones and computers, I figure that I would text Merry Christmas to everyone and/or send free e-cards via email or other social network sites. Some disagree with me that that is too informal, lazy, what have you. I do have some cards that I do send to people with no phone, PC, or do not have their number or email, i.e. elderly folks and neighbors. My thoughts on this are: A. I already pay for my cell phone and email so texting and e-cards are free. B. I can send the same car ...

Christmas Gift Cards For Friend's Kids And Great Nieces And NephewsNov 01, 2010
These children range in ages from newborn to 10.  Money is tight, but I always try to send them something just for them.  But as time has passed their numbers have increased.  How much is too little?  I was thinking in the range of 15-20?  Any input - I don't want to be too cheap - or should I just send a "family giftcard" for all?  These children are two for each family I usually send to. ...

Christmas CardsDec 14, 2009
When you buy cards - what kind do you typically go for ?? Do you get..... Religious, Santa, Funny, Primitive, Etc??What do you say? Do you just sign your name, or do you add a line too?We send about 50-60 cards. Due to the amount we send, we're always having to buy new for the next time anyway. LOL Though I will say, the best time to buy is at the end of the year THIS year. Not next Christmas season, buy them when they're on Clearance for 75% off! ...

Check Your Credit CardsFeb 24, 2013
If you've gotten a new credit card recently, it may have an RFID chip embedded in it. It will have ))))) printed on it. I think Chase cards are using it, but others will follow. These cards can be scanned by anyone with a scanner and get your information. You can call the company and request a card without the chip, or buy an RFID protective sleeve or wallet (dirt cheap on Amazon). Big brother is watching us! ...

Credit Cards & Lending Money To The PeopleSep 16, 2010
Does it bother you at all if they say they cannot pay anything back yet when they seem to be running out spending money left and right on random stuff while that interest on that card starts going up. You know it will get to you at some point you just do not know how long it will take and then it bothers you that after so much time these cards were paid off and now there is a balance on them, however it was a choice said card holder made and I just think said person is feeling odd about h ...

Looks Like Ex Isn't Sending Kids Christmas GiftsDec 15, 2015
First Christmas since the divorce and I have the kids for the holidays. Ex isn't responding to my questions of what he's getting the kids for Christmas out of their list they created of requested items and blows me off when I ask him directly.  He has a good job and money - so it's not as if he's lacking.     Funny thing is that while married he'd want to spend like crazy on Christmas gifts for them and now we're divorced he has become Mr. Jerk in t ...

We got margaritia glasses and neither us were old enough to drink either. I used those for dessert glasses for a bit but ended up over time breaking them.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.
