<\/a><\/p>\nUnfortunately, it may not be what they wanted. \u00a0You know, grandma really does not shop at Abercrombie and Fitch and has not in years. \u00a0What is she going to do with that card? \u00a0Honestly, my mother does not go to Best Buy or Fry’s often (if ever) and a gift card there would be wasted. \u00a0Believe it or not, but many out there do not use iTunes and do not desire a gift card. (See the statistics at the bottom of this article)<\/p>\n
Do you know what still works when you do not know what to buy for that special one? \u00a0CASH! \u00a0That’s right, cash works just about everywhere. \u00a0In fact, I can not think of a place that will not use cash.<\/p>\n
As I think about it, I can not remember anyone ever complaining about the cash gift they received. \u00a0Maybe you have, but cash typically crosses generational, gender, and ________ (whatever, you fill in the blank) lines.<\/p>\n
Just like I encourage in your monthly spending – USE CASH! \u00a0It is really magic.<\/p>\n
Christmas is just a few days away. \u00a0I hope you are ticking to your plan!<\/p>\n

- **72% of consumers spend more than the card’s value – 56% more on average!<\/strong><\/li>\n
- You can sell your unwanted\/unneeded gift card for about 80% of the card’s value!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
