There are 3 reasons to buy Amazon Gift Cards: 1. You need to buy a gift for a guy. 2. You need to buy a gift for a girl. 3. You need to manage your money better.
1. Get your guy exactly what he wants: The opportunity to get what he wants because he doesn't really know yet. Listen. I'm a guy. There are a few things I like (elecctronics and books), but I have to look for several weeks before I'll commit to buying anything and unless you listen to my ramblings about which surround sound speaker system has moved up and down the best sellling list for the last 52 weeks, then you are going to have no idea what to get me.
However, with an Amazon e-gift card, I can research, research, research, and then when I'm ready to pull the trigger: BAM! I get exactly what I want. Of course, it is going to be electronics or a book. But oh so many choices! And, if the money is sitting there waiting, as soon as Amazon pops a sale--whammo! I can get it at a discount and feel smarter...which I love to feel smarter.
2. You don't know what to get your girl. Here is where I am at a disadvantage. I am the worlds best gift shopper for my wife for several reasons. I listen to the hints she drops all year. I know her taste better than she does. I look for sales like a bloodhound. But if you are not super awesome like me (my wife's words), then an Amazon Gift Card is going to be the way to go. Here's why: she knows what she wants and she is going to return what you get her. Unless it is a diamond ring, diamond earrings, or a gold brick, she is going to return what you bought. So just send her an e-Amazon Gift Card...it'll pop up in her email and you can tailor some little romantic note to go with it (you're on your own on that) and she will get exactly what she wants. Whether you send $50 or $5,000, she will find exactly what she wants. And you'll be a hero.
3. You need to manage your money better. Amazon sells anything and everything. When you get paid, put some money in your Amazon account then have anything you need shipped directly to your house. No gas to the store. No overdrawn account. Hey, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can even have those items shipped for free in 2 to 3 days. Realize you are down to 3 rolls of toilet paper? Find the best-selling toilet paper and have it in a couple of days. Just a box of Cheerios left? Order more and have it in no time. And you will always know how much you have left and if you save money, it'll be there for next month until you have enough left to buy something nice for yourself. You can get literally anything on Amazon and a e-gift card is the way to manage your household budget!
