A decade ago, I worked on POS systems as a software engineer.
The selling point was absolutely hawking gift cards. Since we saw the data from companies, and we had a clause that gift cards expired (before the government stepped in) I remember being blown away by how many millions it was in pure profit.
I have been actively fighting gift cards in my family by giving cash. I’m all, it’s like a gift card but you can spend it anywhere! I took awhile, but little got into it.
