He said he wrote occasional gift certificates. I understand you have a regular GC program and sell a fair number of them?

I'm saying yes, we do sell gift certificates. I guess the questions is ...is a card more self promoting than a gift certificate..and if a customer could "store" a $$ and recharge it on the card (which you cant due on a paper cert. except issuing them a new store credit, which they can/will/do lose) would said card be more valuable to us than the current paper gift certificate old fashioned way?
