myLot Discussions on Express Gift Card| Why did a gift card end up in my car? | | Today we were out running around hitting a lot of places at one time. We had to go to about 5 different stores and our in-laws house. My husband decided to take out POS (piece of sh!t) car since we got it for the "running around" kinda stuff. The thing with this car is that if you lock the drivers side door, you have to unlock the passenger side and climb across to open the drivers side. So we just leave the windows down and don't lock it.Our first stop was Office Depot and my husband hands me his wallet to put in my purse. I don't really have room in there for it so I told him to leave it. I figure is someone sees this crappy car with the windows down and it all unlocked they'd figure there was nothing in it. So he leaves it in the console.When we get back in the car, there's a $25 American Express Gift card on the floor. I know it wasn't there before and I have no clue how it got there. We were joking that someone felt sorry for us having this car and out of the kindness of their hearts threw it in there for us. We don't need it, but let me tell you, a free $25 is a free $25!First thing I do is call the number to see if it's been used... | |

| | Protect Yourself | | I watched a news story the other day about people who've called in on those ads that say you only have to pay the postage to get the item. They entered their credit card or bank info for the item and in some cases got the item but were charged for much more than postage. One guy ordered the 30 day supply of Cigarest and was sent a 90 day supply and charged for the 90 day regular rate.One woman participated in something that was supposed to help her save money on something regarding her home, I believe, but they started charging her $159+ per month on an automated charge and her bank wouldn't stop the payments so she finally had to close her bank account to stop the charges.Not all of these companies are scams but I would like to suggest a way to avoid these types of things from happening. If you want to order something, don't put it on your bank account or regular credit card. Go to the grocery store and get one of those Visa/Mastercard or American Express gift cards and use that to order the item. That way, if they try to charge you again, they won't be able to do so.If the item you want is over $100, get one of the refillable cards. It takes about a week to come in,... | |
| | I found this crass | | I recieved an invitation to a bridal shower yesterday (funny thing was I had to call to find out who it was for as I didn't recognize the name) for my very good friends fiance. I was shocked to get an invitation as there is no love lost between us (actually there is no like lost either).What I found crass was that they specifically put on the invitation to give cash or visa gift cards or american express gift cards! I usually don't even use a registry as more than a way to get ideas but to be told "give money" blew me away. She's not even registered anywhere. Why throw a shower so she can open a bunch of cards? What about you? Do you think it is crass or rude or impolite to put such a thing on an invitation? Also do you think they should maybe put the groom's name on the invitation too so people who don't know the bride know who the party is for? | |
