i'm slightly annoyed. either this is new, or it started last year and i just forgot, but the university bookstore is no longer crediting the patronage refund directly to my UBS credit card. instead, they have sent me a gift card for this year's refund. guess what? the gift card is not applicable to credit card balances. (writing this is ringing a bell...i think i do remember being annoyed by this last year.)
dammit! that's what i wanted to use it for! it would have nearly paid the stupid thing off.
now i have a UBS gift card for just shy of $200, and i don't know what to use it for. should i piddle it away on a book here, a book there? use it to buy a fancy new i-pod? i'm liking the new i-pod touch, because it's got flash memory, wi-fi, and a calendar on it; but the biggest one is only 16G (at $399) which compares very unfavorably with the 80G (at $249) or 160G (at $349) sizes available in what they're now calling the i-pod classic. then again, i could just use it to buy the new version of OSX when it comes out. i believe they're releasing that in october.
well, the card doesn't expire until next june, so i might as well hang onto it for awhile until i decide what i really want to do with it. we'll see if the price of that i-pod touch doesn't come down a bit.
