Deadlines

Two problems I've had with gift cards:

They have an expiration date.  Can't be used after that date. Why?  They already have your money.  Did my "cash" expire on them?  A blatant rip-off.

 

Some have a "no change" policy.  If you use a $25 gift card for a $10.00 purchase, they won't give back change.  Why?  If I pay for a $10 purchase with a $20, I expect change, to use anywhere I please.  They haven't lost any money; the gift card's already been paid for.  Eventually, you will use the full amount plus some, the pay out of pocket.
