What would you do if you found a gas gift card sitting on top of the pump? Would you assume it was used up and leave it? Or would you take it and check the balance? Guess, what I did. I took it and logged on the website and found out it has a balance of $1.61.If you found that out, would you toss it or use it? It is not even a gallon of gas and maybe not worth it. Too me, it is. I used it with a $5.00 gift card I had won to put gas in our car. Every little bit helps this frugal man.
It reminds me of the times I used to travel into NYC and see tossed metro cards around. I would pick them up and scan them. Most didn’t have a balance, but sometimes there would one. Did you know that that you can take metro cards with a balance to the subway station booth and the agent would combine them all into one card? I did this a few times also. It’s like picking up loose change from the ground. I do that too. Before we left NYC, it was harder to find those cards because I believe now they charge $1.00 for a new card. What a scam! I have been away from New York in almost three years but still have my metro card. It is expired, yes, but if and when I visit again, I will get a new one without having to pay that one dollar fee.
