Its like I'm getting a gift, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-462114 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 20:06:00 +0000 eeh 462114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a grocery store card charge a fee. I buy them there because I get fuel points for cheaper gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461981 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:10:40 +0000 tororojo 461981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't matter to me! Not all grocery store cards get charged a fee, for the record--it depends on where the gift card is to. I like any gift cards...even ones I know are rewards from a credit card (my mom does that all the time!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461926 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 17:30:00 +0000 Andrea 461926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew that the grocery store cards were different either or that they deduct a fee. That stinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461747 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 14:59:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 461747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, except for the ones with fees that Shopaholic mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461673 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 14:09:58 +0000 shopaholic 461673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grocery Store Cards suck because they actually charge the recipient a fee that gets continually deducted if they don't use it from the value of the card.<br /> I love getting Amazon GCs and those are always mailed or emailed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461632 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 13:26:16 +0000 Meridian 461632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know the grocery store gift card were different either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461613 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 12:41:04 +0000 sunny 461613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh I had no idea they were different!

Luckily most places will send an actual card these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461525 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 11:16:48 +0000 Bao 461525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't care where it came from, I'd just love a giftcard! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-care-about-the-format-of-your-gift-cards#post-461522 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 11:14:28 +0000 autumnlove 461522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a gift card snob and I like it when people go to the actual store and buy a hard copy.</p> <p>I have no idea why but I don't like gift cards that you can buy at the grocery store, emailed codes, etc.</p> <p>I have totally lagged on holiday shopping this year and I will probably give my family gift cards in the formats that I hate...lol. </p>
