How about a new payment method?? (Amazon, giftcard, etc)

[BotchedSituation]

I don't understand why anyone would want any kind of gift card over cash. I mean, you could even just buy the card with your cash... Plus it's just easier dealing with cash.

I like to get Amazon cards more than cash. If I get cash, I tend to spend it on things I need, rather than "frivolous" purchases. With an Amazon card, I can get something special for myself, things that I don't feel are important enough to spend hard-earned money on. (I grew up poor, and am very frugal!)
In response to Admin's post above, Amazon cards don't cost anything extra if you email them to the recipient.

Good reason, but a personal reason. I was looking for something more along the line of helping the masses. Not one or two.

Perhaps to give as a gift?

Again, nothing to stop you from just buying it.

I think there's a fine line between personal reason and beneficial reason for having a new payment method... that's all...

I am happy with the checks and paypal. I am actually going to start using paypal now instead of checks, because im saving all my money in paypal

Gift cards are OK but are limited in scope.  The cards determine where money can be spent, when it can be used, when money expires (what?!!??!) among other limitations.  Cash and those closed to cash such as Paypal are king.
