A gift card is always worth less than cash, how much depends on various factors. At least 5% (rewards and inconvenience) but closer to 10-15% in my experience. For a 20% discount on stores I use regularly I’ll get the gift card (usually buy $50 get $10 free). | |||||||||||||||||

If you look on the gift card market places, like Raise, you will see many gift cards are well below face value but there are also many that are rarely below 1% value like Amazon and Walmart. | |||||||||||||||||

A $X Amazon gift card is more valuable to me than $X in cash. As in, if you gave me a choice between the two, I’d take the gift card. | |||||||||||||||||
