For those that hate gift vouchers

I have always hated gift vouchers, viewing them as a form of cash that is just wrapped up in big restrictive ribbons. Its cash, but you can only spend it HERE, HERE or THERE.
What is more, it expires in 3 hours time. :mad:
Anyway, it made me chuckle when I came across this so I thought I'd share it with you.

Its a natwest 'Gift Card' that you can give to someone, but they can spend it anywhere, almost like a debit card. And it costs £3 to activate... :rotfl:
What a ridiculous notion. Get people presents for xmas, or give them cash. I dont see why natwest should take money from their gifts. These things really annoy me.

Prepaid credit card then.
Sending cash in the post isnt really secure and special delivery for cash is probably going to be close to the £3.
Whilst I would very much vote for the "buy a present" over cash/ gift vouchers etc I would probably prefer something like this over cash - cash just goes in the wallet and gets spent like any other money that is in there where as at least with having something distinct like a card or vouchers you do make a more active decision that you are going to buy X with itAll posts made are simply my own opinions and are neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers
