Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I work with a large retail chain that does what any large retail chain would sensibly do and stay open on Thanksgiving. All associates who work Thanksgiving Day receive an extra 15% off of their next purchase as well as their current 10% employee discount, stacking to make a total savings of 25%. While I personally do not agree with supporting a company that makes their employees work on a family holiday, this is by far the best way that I have to purchase Xmas gifts cheaply for my whole family and friends. 

I finally get my paycheck, and I texted both my siblings asking what they wanted for Xmas. My heart just about sank when I saw that both messages back was "Visa gift card". 

The place where I work charges an activation fee on top of the amount that one would want to load onto one of these prepaid cards, so in my mind it would be cheaper if I just straight up gave them $20 cash and then spend the money on people who would appreciate the gifts. WIBTA? They're literally asking for money and have not specified an amount. 

P.S.

I would also like to say that one of them is older than me and works as a paralegal while studying for the bar, and the other is younger than me and already gets plenty of support from our parents. I can't see either of them needing anything more than pocket cash, which is why I settled on $20.
