Ensign Pulver made a donation with an oddly specific amount. Before I could ask about it he cleared up the mystery by sending in an email.
“I had these 2 gift cards with pittance amounts on them. What else could I do with them? I sent them to iOTWreport.”
IÂ got to chatting that there might be a business model there somewhere, a repository for cards that people would otherwise just toss away.
He said, “ya, you’re the repository. Alert readers not to throw away their stray dollars, just send them into their favorite website. That’s the business model.”
It’s quite an idea. Now I have to hope that we’re your favorite website!
There are other websites?
Coulda fooled me!

Good idea Ensign Pulver, let’s hope it catches on. I think I have 68 cents left on my REI card.
There’s another way to use up those small gift card balances, but out of loyalty to IOTWR, I shall not mention it here.
“Shhhh…!”
?
I got 10 cents off on a gallon of gasoline.
I’ll send you my Winn-Dixie card.
BTW, I believe I read where some site like that already existed.
Fur: Simce when are you a suppository?
Get rid of all ad’s you got a deal.
@Tony R:
Be careful – you don’t want to make an enema out of Fur.
?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that …

I’ll use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer. Hey Sally, how about you fund the site every other month to make up for the lost ad revenue?
If you think we should be doing this for free, just tell me.
I will gladly shut the site down and you can go vote for Bernie.
Deal?
You really know how to threaten an IOTWR reader, don’t you, Fur?
😛
How much does it cost per month to run this site? I see some blogs get a kick back
from Amazon when you use their ‘name’? To order. I buy about $100,000 from Amazon a
year maybe you should look into it.
Just an idea
100K from Amazon? Really? And you haven’t contacted BFH via email about that?
Meantime, I’ll root around. I give most of my GCs away, but I know I have some rattling around here somewhere. Meanwhile, I made a purchase of art supplies & a $100 voucher from nakedwine.com, get that off of any case of wine priced at $160 or more, delivery included. No membership, fees or commitments. Any takers?
