How to buy a gift card?

[Robert M]

Todd,

Check the bank with whom you have a checking or savings account. TD Bank does gift cards and there aren't any extra "activation" fees. I always get gift cards from TD Bank since we have an account with them.

Get a card at the local supermarket or drug store and you'll pay the amount of the gift and an activation fee. Not a huge amount - Just a few dollars - but it's a fee nonetheless.
