Edit: Per another comment, this seems to differ by country, and might be an impossible “win” for the US, where I haven’t seen expiring ones in ages.
When is the last time you’ve used a gift card? I haven’t had to fuck with making an account for one in over a decade. I’m also seeing other people in the comments talk about expiration, which is another thing I haven’t had any of them due in quite a number of years (pretty sure some laws changed so they can’t anymore).
I’d totally prefer cash, but it’s not some horrible affront to the natural order of things anymore.
Outside of those psuedo-debit card monstrosities. I still see those with extra fees, registration, and expiration (technically maintenance fees down to a zero balance). Those are extra dumb as fuck. Just give me the cash.
