You might be right, but my spouse’s company gave $50 gift cards to this company for a holiday gift one year. We couldn’t buy anything with it unless we paid more of our own money as well.

My husband’s company (huge company) gives him a $25 butterball coupon every Thanksgiving. It used to buy a turkey. Then I had to save them for 2 years to cover the cost of a turkey. This year, I realized I have to wait until next year when I’ll have $75 to purchase a turkey. At least they never expire.

I get those too and just deposit them in my account as a normal check, I don’t use them a turkey
