do they still lose value after a certain amount of time? I know they used to - that's why we stopped buying them.

that's not too bad. I think years ago, they started losing their face value a little bit each month after the first 90 days.

Re: Has anyone ever rec'd one of those Simon Mall Visa Debit cards?

the only problem I have with them is that you have to know exactly how much is on them to use them...

For example- if your purchase is $50, but you only have $46.50 on the GC it will deny the card (kinda like using a debit card without enough money in the bank). You first have to give them the $3.50, then use the gift card for the rest. I haven't gotten one in a few years though...maybe they've fixed that problem by now...

I got one last year and it hasn't changed. They also charge a fee to buy them.

i work in retail and they are a pain you have to remember exactly the amount you have left on the card or the register denies it well at least in my store it does.

If you have an account at Commerce you can get free visa gift cards.

I would just go with a regular visa card since they are accepted in places other then Simon Malls.

The Simon Mall giftcards are accepted other places as well - it is a regular visa card.
