So I bought a new camera the other day at Target, and I got a $20 gift card that looks like this:

Didn't think much about it, other than the fact that it's THICK. About 1/8" of an inch.
My fiancé comes over tonite after she got off work and picked it up, asked me what it was. Then she pressed the on/off button on it.
I was mesmerized.

FREE BLUE LEDs!!!!
Here's the obligatory night shot, damn this thing is BRIGHT:

I'm gonna go spend it tomorrow and demand that they let me keep it. I've got some uses for those lights...

They might not keep it. Once it's spent, it's spent.
Still though, that's cool.

Hang on to her. :bunny:
Didn't notice that the button was raised?
Love it!
Often all it takes is the logic of a woman: 'it's a button, press it.'
She's smart, but keep her away from big red buttons that say 'Do not press this button'. Bet she couldn't resist!

Wow!
Thats a very well done gift card! Best one ive seen so far!
How does it work? you cant swipe it. Is there a code on the back or something?

my gf presses everys button and 99.9% of the time some light or fan or screen w/e turns on lol hence the reason why their are these (http://www.xoxide.com/militaryswitch.html) on the important switches like pwr and reset:)

That is one of the most high tech gift cards I have ever seen. They just couldn't settle for a thin piece of non glowing plastic could they? Well then again, it does say Wii on it. The Wii rocks, so it only makes sense that a Wii gift card rocks too. ^_^

Not that much really. $2.25 BIN
This giftcard has a $0.00 balance
That does seem to imply that when you've spent the $20, you can still keep it.

i would tell them to give it back, something like that is a collectable (to some) so they wouldn't take that from you.
and thx for finding that now i can go get it +rep

Well, I got the card for spending $200 on a new digital camera. My priorities have lied elsewhere the past couple days...

Barcode on the back. So they will just scan it @ the register.
