Registering For Gift Cards?

Rayla, on February 28, 2017 at 9:39 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

UPDATE: Based on consensus, I removed them from my registry!

Our Amazon registry contains a lot of normal items, and a few (4) gift card items. Do you guys think registering for gift cards is okay, or is it too much like asking for cash? Would it depend where the gift card is for?

    It's the same thing as asking for cash.

    @ Nancy D: I did. I registered for many "normal" gifts, as I stated in my post. The question was whether it's okay to add a few gift cards as well.

    Not okay to ask for gift cards. They are basically restricted-use cash, and you can't ask for cash no matter how you try to obscure the fact that it is cash.

    Noooo. It's the same thing as asking for cash, which is not okay. Don't ask for gift cards.

    ETA: Glad you came to a consensus!

    I would change the title of the thread, OP, so you don't keep getting the same responses.

    They add one as a default and should remove it. The Target one I removed but if I access it like a guest it is still there. I'm mortified.
