I'm saying it seems like just another avenue for everyone to make money except for the merchant with the actual customer!

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?
