I got several gift cards over the holidays, and I'm nervous I'm going to neglect to use them! @Tom B — I agree, especially with regards to lost or forgotten gift cards — either you have to (a) not lose them and remember you have them when you are ready to make a purchase or (b) make a purchase earlier than you really intended to…. neither are really good situations.
