Alpo 2,242 Posted February 22 Gift card. Huh. I remember getting one of them, from AT&T. Rebate on buying a new phone, I suppose. Only place I could spend it was AT&T. I tried it at a couple of stores, but yhey wouldn't take it. Pain in the butt. What ever happened to checks? Arrgghh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth 4,312 Posted February 22 @Alpo, Actually it's a MasterCard Debit Card and can be used anywhere. Much easier IMHO than having a check that needs to be cashed or deposited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
