The other spending thread made me think of a similar issue (smaller scale) that I have with gift cards. I was wondering if there are any kindred spirits here?
I just received a $500 Visa gift card and have no idea what to spend it on, plus I still have a $300 Macy's gift card from 2+ years ago, a gift certificate for a massage from 6 years ago, several Best Buy gift cards in the $50 range from 2-3 years ago, a Chico's gift card for $200 from 2-3 years ago, a Nordstrom's gift card for $50 from 7 years ago, etc.
It's not like I'm intentionally saving these up for any reason. I just do not feel compelled to go out and buy something simply because I have a gift card. Whereas my ex-SO would be out spending any gift cards he received typically within a day or two of receipt.
I can use the Visa card most anywhere that they take credit cards, but for some odd reason it seems like I should do something "special" with it...but I don't know what.
I guess I simply don't need or want anything at the moment.
