I received a $50. VISA gift card from a local gaming center. I received it less than three months ago and upon trying to use it I was informed that it had expired and the monthly fees had used up the $50. NOT A GREAT GIFT! NEVER buy or accept a VISA gift card!

"The financial-services research firm TowerGroup estimates that of the $80 billion spent on gift cards in 2006, roughly $8 billion will never be redeemed — “a bigger impact on consumers,” Tower notes, “than the combined total of both debit- and credit-card fraud.” A survey by Marketing Workshop Inc. found that only 30 percent of recipients use a gift card within a month of receiving it, while Consumer Reports estimates that 19 percent of the people who received a gift card in 2005 never used it." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/magazine/07wwln_freak.t.html?ex=1325826000&en=970953e6241456e4&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss I will never use one again Clearly this cards are a scam to rip off the unsuspecting.
