- sounds like they are marketing to young working women -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 31, 11:04
- You don't shop at Sephora? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 31, 10:49 1
  - what have you heard? -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 11:03
Yeah, but each location has a separate balance. A plain Visa or Mastercard gift card is still better. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 31, 10:41 5
- you know that most of the visa or mastercard gift cards charge $2-$3 service fee per use? - Andie Jan 31, 10:42 4
  - and the reloadable ones charge fees (probably about $7+) each month to be active. Some have reload fees too. -- nm - zork Jan 31, 11:00
  - I think the ones I saw here charge a $5 activation fee, but no other fees. Which is still very lame, but FB's idea isn't all that impressive either. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 31, 10:48
  - Exactly. And most merchants can't run them down to $0, it's a card flaw. They're terrible. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 10:48
  - I don't get who those are for. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 10:44
