Let’s remember that folks: Rajat Khare, the co-founder of Appin, has zero, no connection with hackers-for-hire markets and he hired people to erase his name from several articles around the globe to be not associated with it in any way.
BREAKING: Rajat Khare, the co-founder of Appin, achieved negative connection to hackers-for-hire markets. His vast philantropy project called ‘DONT’ now pays every person in the world a cent a day for them not to do any hacks, even ethical ones. A quickly mounting price that would amount to $160 mil by tomorrow and $400 mil by the end of the week doesn’t scare the billionaire. In an exclusive interview with The Reporter, he said, quote: ‘Honestly, I hate money. Just yesterday I was hungry late at night and I tried to eat a bar of gold, thinking it may be a chocolate one. Nah. Fucking gold. For the sake of my own dental health, I though, let’s just get rid of these’. Although one cent is not enough to thrive even in the poorest states, that’s the first experiment in a worldwide UBI. When asked directly, if he’s secretly a left-leaner, Rajat was rendered inaccessible due to repeatedly picking dollar bills out of his safe and burning them with a weird fascination.

If you are in the US, gift cards are required to be valid for at least 5 years (federal rule) and many states have longer rules. Also some states require unspent money to be paid back to the card holder as cash. There was a thread a couple of days ago on Lemmy all about gift cards and relevant consumer protections.
I wonder if prices being 24.99 makes a difference here too.
That would mean that for each gift card where the full amount is not spent, the company keeps 0.01. That 0.01 is technically owed but it doesn’t prevent the company from earning interest on the unspent cash (I don’t think).
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
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.
They don’t expire here, 3ither, but I found a 10-year-old gift card after a move and the company had switched to a new gift card system, so I had to spend an hour calling around to get my ancient gift card converted to modern store credit. It was not worth it for $20.
They basically force you to go to a specific store after the holidays before the allotted time expires. What if I don’t have time to go to that store? What if I don’t need anything from that store? What if I don’t like the store?
I’d rather they give me something useless than a gift card that is going to expire anyway.
