In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card - Lemmy.ca

A credit card is a card to say “these people will pay you and I’ll owe them money” With a gift card, you’re choosing items that have already been paid for, the company already got the money and you’re just picking out what you want to buy with it

Gift cards say, “I could have just given you cash, but I wasn’t considerate enough to also give the freedom to buy what you want. I have therefore restricted you to store of my choosing, for if I cared at all about you, I’d actually have been able to buy a suitable gift myself.”
Gift cards are great for family members who have addiction issues 🤷‍♀️
