Gift Cards Knowledge Base
Gift Cards? I just read that Sharper Image and other retailers are not honoring Gift cards because they are in financial trouble and some are even in Chapter 11 BK. The story is" That is typical of businesses that reorganize under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which treats gift cards as a loan to the company, not as cash." Was'nt cash used to buy these gift cards????? If so, how can they deem it a loan or credit when they (Sharper Image)were already paid for the gift cards.

Can gift cards for kids for snow removal be written off for a income property? Canadian answer please. For example - I give them gift cards for DVD rentals. I am repsonsible for removing the snow of my rental income properties. SO does that mean that the following is incorrect?.....Yes, it would probably be considered an advertising or goodwill expense. You should try to have some sort of record on what you gave to whom, just in case they ask. If you can also show purchase of gift baskets, for instance, that would help.

Why do people pay more than face value for Visa gift cards? I've sold Visa gift cards on eBay and it boggles my mind that people pay more than face value for the gift cards. Right now, there is a $200 card selling for $300+! :confused: My question is, why would you pay so much more for such a card? I noticed that most of the people who bid on my card were people from outside the US, so does it have anything to do with currency exchange rates or wanting to avoid some sort of extra fees? That could have made sense, except that people are paying WAY more than face value. So what is going on? Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Fantine, there is no reason to be mean!
