really? why? I just assumed the only people who used gift cards as any sort of payment for anything would be those who are, at least in part, fleecing low income folks. Like McDonald's paying its employees in gift cards, selling plasma and getting the money loaded onto a GC as card - basically a scam to try to cut down on payroll/processing and hope people pay fees. But that's reloadable so it isn't even the same. Anyway, I digress, we aren't even talking about Staples now. But this has been very informative.
