Today turned out to be a very rainy, unpleasant day in New York City and it got me feeling the onset of fall/winter and also thinking a bit about the upcoming holidays.
As I was perusing the internet, I happened to run across an article about turning gift cards that have money left on them into charitable donations. The value of the gift card can be determined by calling the 800 number on the back. The money can be redeemed directly from the store or by using a buy-back service. The accredited buy-back service I found is Gift Card Buy Back http://www.giftcardbuyback.com/sellgiftcards.cfm. I love this idea.
We all must have a gift card or two laying around the house and that $1.98 that’s left isn’t going to make much of a dent in your current debt burden but combined with millions of other cards, it could make a huge difference to people in need.
Let me hear from you. Do you like this idea as much as I do? I’m ready to setup a P.O. Box and start this program for real. Are you with me? We could make Christmas a lot brighter this year and feel great about it Let’s do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic idea. And unlike other factastic ideas, you offer us a way to make it happen. I think WithMyRegards is a class act and here’s just one more reason to keep using your service. Thanks for contributing to our quality of life!
