Decisions, decisions....
Today I heard back about the $50 gift card that I'm due for opening my bank accounts. It turns out that there is actually a choice between a Visa GC and GCs from various merchants. But!--I read the fine print: the Visa costs a minimum of $3.95. (ALWAYS read the fine print! If I had a printer, I would print the disclaimer so I could read the relevant parts to some of my callers.) Due upon purchase of card, blah, blah, blah...so it wouldn't really be $50.
However, the GCs ship free and don't show any additional charges associated with them. The only caveat is that the bit that says "Allow 3-4 weeks for receipt of your gift card"---meaning they're not going to work as Xmas presents, but may provide me with a bit of luxury in the New Year.
The question is, what kind? It can be split, so theoretically, I *could* get a stack of $5 Starbucks cards---except I don't drink coffee. I'm leaning toward cuisine and a bookstore. Looked at the fashions they offer and there are a couple of plus-size prospects, so I *could* go that way. Right now, I'm contemplating a three-way between Olive Garden, Barnes & Noble, and Fashion Bug. That's a nice, mellow day of lunch and shopping on Merritt Island. *happy sigh*
Got this today as a meme: Go to this website, find out what the #1 song was on your birthday and post it.
