Before you rush out and get an airline gift card for the world traveler in your life, be sure to consider all the options available before you buy. Often airline gift cards can cause more headaches then fun times for their recipients.

Have you ever received a voucher from an airline for a delayed or canceled flight? If you have then you can begin to understand why airline gift cards are not such a good idea. By buying airline gift card you are committed to buying your ticket from that specific airline, regardless of the cost. If the recipient of the airline gift card finds a ticket that is hundred of dollars cheaper they may be stuck using up their entire airline gift card on the difference.

Gift Cards As A Graduation Gift http://giftah.com/blog/2009/05/gift-cards-as-a-graduation-gift/ http://giftah.com/blog/2009/05/gift-cards-as-a-graduation-gift/#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 23:01:51 +0000 giftah http://giftah.com/blog/?p=176 Its that time of year again, where the latest class of college students are finishing up exams and attending their convocations. Most of us know at least one student graduating this year, and we are aware that they are launching into one of the toughest economies in North American since the depression. Thats why graduation gifts this year are more likely to be cold hard cash or a gift card. Although many people frown upon giving cash and gift cards in this economy it is usually exactly what a graduating student needs.

Cash or a nice check makes the best gift, but if a graduating student lives far away and you are planning on mailing the gift a gift card is a better option. The best gift cards to give are the prepaid Visa’s or American Express gift cards, these can be used at any location the credit cards are excepted. If you still want something more personal electronics store gift cards, itunes gift cards or clothing gift cards are always popular with the college crown. Try to figure out what the students plans are for after gradation. If they are traveling then buy a travel gift gift card, if the student is moving into a new apartment an Ikea gift card may be in order.

Cash or gift cards in the best gift for grads in the uncertain economy. The last of their concerns right now is another College sweater or a special fram for their diploma, the current trend for students is survival.
