A credit card is a card to say "these people will pay you and I'll owe them money"

With a gift card, you're choosing items that have already been paid for, the company already got the money and you're just picking out what you want to buy with it

can confirm. every time i get a gift card I'm as annoyed that I can't use it for rent as I am excited to be "forced" to get myself a goddamn fancy coffee or whatever

that being said when I was truly desperate in college I did used to sell them online using various exchanges. i usually got $0.70 on the dollar which wasn't terrible
