if i'm understanding this correctly, the only use i can see for these is as a means of limiting spending

it'd be much more difficult to justify spending the $2 on some game you know you'll never play if it's tied to a finite $50 gift card than it would be if it were tied to an 'unlimited' credit card

Right, so you use your hard earned money to bay off the credit card bill.

Problem solved.
not everyone has credit cards snowy or willing to put the information into an online service.

whoa now here's a good point

I can see how it would be impossible for non-point-of-sale purchases, though.

If someone gives me a gift card I take it. I can always find something to use it for or know someone who does.
