We get occasional "On the Spot" instant bonuses at work, usually around $50, and you can pick what kind of gift you want - usually I select a Visa gift card. Once you log on and verify the code number, you have the option of adding a personalized message to the card face, which I did.
I got zero response from any vendor to whom I presented the card. My friends thought it was funny, but I guess all the merchants' sense of humor has been ground down to nothing.
I know what you're saying - "$48? I thought you said $50?!" Yes, it is a $50 gift minus a $2 processing fee for the privelige - nay, the honor! - of getting one of their cards. Lame.

So you would have to spend your 48 bucks at a rate of $8/week before it expires. Leapin' lizards! Who do they think you are, Daddy Warbucks or sumthin?
I know! $48 is pretty much the entire mp3 catalog at allofmp3.com.
Another thing - imagine the embarrassment of getting a $2 On the Spot award!
Hey, at least it is a Visa card... My current (soon to be ex) employer gives out gift cards for a local grocery store.
Sure, everyone needs groceries.... and you can take the grocery $ you save using the gift card and us it one something else...
But come on!!! "You've done well this year. Merry Christmas! Here's your $25 Albertson's gift card."
Sheesh....
