Isn't this like the whole point of gift cards etc.

They already have your money and they hope you don't spend it.

I represent that demographic.

I get gift cards given to me, and put them in my wallet with the best intention of using them, then after 5 years I clean out my wallet and find them. And where I live they don't expire, so I put them back into my wallet so I can not use them for another 5 years.
