 It depends on where they are from.  Online they barely get a chance to somoke before they are goner and same with Hobby Lobby.  Restaurant ones last longer because we rarely get a "date" night anymore.

 It depends where there are from.  If I'm not that excited about the store, the gc tend to sit around longer.  Now hand me a Michael's gc and it is gone before the envelope hits the floor.

 I got a large G/C to a LSS for Christmas.  I was over there in about a week but couldnt for the life of me spend it all there.  but my scrappy friend with me that day wanted a pricey how to book at that store, so  she handed it to me, I paid for it with the g/c and then she gave me the CASH for it and I spent that at another store where I did want something.

G/C's are great if they are to somewhere you want to shop.

 It just depends on where they are to.  If it's anything related to scrapping/crafty goodness, they are gone very quickly!!!

 Mine don't get a chance to burn much of a hole in my pocket, because I spend them as soon as get them!  It's my only truly "guilt-free" money, so I take full advantage of it, LOL!  I do have a Starbucks GC that dh gave me for Christmas that I refuse to spend on my coffees, because I want to use it on something else, like a cute mug or something for my kitchen.

Re: Question of the day 1/13
 Let's see, about five seconds.  Seriously, as a teacher, I always get several gift cards (this year I got four from Starbucks, one from Corner Bakery, one from Best Buy, one from Macy's and one from a book store).  After school got out on Friday before Christmas break, I gathered up my husband and son, and we went to the mall and spent every single one of the cards except for three of the Starbucks.  By the time we went back two weeks later, all of the Starbucks were gone too.

Re: Question of the day 1/13
 Lol- it depends on if I misplace it. I was cleaning my scrappy room/computer area and I found an acot gc that I won almost a year ago. Needless to say, as soon as I found it, I spent it and then some.
If its restraunt or movie- It takes me about six mo to remember to use it. If its hobby lobby- cha ching- its gone.

 Not long at all, especially if it is for a craft or scrapbooking place or a coffee one. They are usually gone within a week.

 I kept a $75 restaurant gift card longer than I should have and when I went to use it, it was Zip, Zero, Zilch.  Learned my lesson.  I have two from Christmas that I need to use.  One from JCP and a Visa GC.

 I try to use them within a month of getting them because then I'll forget about them. Then they will sometimes expire or I'll misplace them.

 I don't usually keep them to long.  This year I got a couple for Penneys and Target...once I loose the last 10 lbs of baby weight then I will get me some new clothes!

 not long and in the economy they said to use them quickly this year as you can't guess which stores may be going out of business after a holiday season of low numbers for merchants.

 It depends on where they are from.  Starbucks goes super fast.  Others i might hold on to a little longer.
