    Also some gift cards require own contribution to the purchase. For example a $25 card could only be used on a purchase of $25.01 or above so you still have to pick something that you will pay out of your own pocket for

      Which gift cards are those?

      I’ve never heard of that being something you would purchase.

      I could only see it existing if I had a $1.00 gift card to the dollar store. Because nothing costs a dollar at the dollar store anymore.

        Ikea where I live (Poland) does that. You have to spend at least 0,01 PLN yourself, even if it means not using the entire amount of the gift card that was available

          That’s crazy. That sounds like it should not be legal.

          Why not just require they spend $200 to use a gift card? That way the store either keeps the $50 gift card in cash on the books, or they make $250 in sales.
