<prompt> Human: Im talking about Reload your Amazon gift card with 100 and get 5 extra for free, Get a 25 gift card with the purchase of a 50 Panera gift card, etc. My first reaction is that it largely depends on the nature of the vendor for example, Panera may not be worth it because its still an eating out expense, but given that gift cards and their balances rarely if ever expire, it could be worth it - part of me figures I may as well get the free money perk if Im going to end up spending a total minimum of 100 on Amazon over the course of my life anyways.So, should I take up these offers? I suppose this might also be a good question for rFrugal.  <response>: If youre going to use it in the regular course of life rather than spending just because you have it then it makes sense. As long as there are no fees or time constraints.For example, I know Ill go to Panera for 50 worth of food in a year because my running club goes there for breakfast after runs sometimes. It would make sense then. If it was Chilis, I wouldnt use it, so it wouldnt make sense.
