Long, long ago, Discover was running a promotion: Sign up for a credit card, and get a free GPS for your car. (This was well before cellphone apps.) "Great!" I said. "Sign me up!" As soon as I got the GPS, I canceled the credit card ( Read more... )

You could always resell the characters you don't want on ebay or something (though if trading in the gift card was too much work, I guess reselling would also be LOL)

I love free stuff. :)

Yeah, true... on both counts. :P I need to be less lazy about selling things!

And agreed, it being free makes it all the more fun!

Wow. I'm surprised it is still valid after all that time. I know Amazon gift cards have an expiry date.

Me too! Happily surprised.

Wow, I can't believe the balance on that gift card has lasted so long!! You are very lucky :p

thistle_chaser January 28 2016, 16:23:49 UTC

Agreed! So happy it hadn't expired.

Hahahhaha whaaaaaat. I'd spend that gift card so fast! XDDD

I had thought I would too! And I tried, I just never spot anything I really, really wanted. If I had ever gone to the parks, I'm sure it would have been a very different story...
