Credit Card Company Gift Cards
This is not an advert for them, but I thought it worth mentioning as a good idea for a last min ******mas gift if you run out of time.
Somebody sent us a C word card with an Amex Gift Card enclosed.
I like the idea of these because unlike store gift cards, you are not restricted. You can use them anywhere for anything.
BUT....
The card came with a ream of paper with loads of small print.
The missus had to call a number to activate and she also read this mini-novel and found out this:
So like everything there's a catch. But if you go out and blow it all straight away then there's no worries.
In the interest of fairness I should mention that Visa and Mastercard also do gift cards. I'm not going to link to them, I'm sure the Google Adsense will take care of that.

I've been reading the small print on that flier that came with it. It says we should use it as soon as possible, it says we can leave a balance on it but, on the 13th month after it's purchase, they'll charge us a 2 dollar service fee each month! or we can ask them to issue us a check for the balance but, they'll charge a $10 fee for the issuance. Ugh!!!!
