KMart is a crappy store, but not so crappy that you can't somehow spend $100. Buy some food, drink, and games. Buy some underwear and socks. Whatever.
You want to talk about a gift card dilemma? I got a $50 iTunes gift card for Christmas. What the fuck am I going to do with that? And if I wanted to re-gift, I can't think of anybody who could use it.

Yea man, I totally agree. Vidya is simply ridiculous in this day and age.

I've gotten some amazing deals for games at kmart. I know I got $20 coupons for each time I bought a major release (skyrim, uncharted 3, and L.A. Noire).

Buy a thing with it.
Don't iTunes cards work at Apple stores and apple.com? There are a lot of things you could put that towards.

Buy games. Kathy Ireland would be proud.
Can you use iTunes giftcards for things on the app store?

Another awesome idea I dunno I never been to Kmart dudes u heard it was run down and they didbt really carry much my mistakes :0p

Yeah. The problem with me is that I don't use iTunes for music and while I have an iPhone, I'm not big into paid apps and games.
I'll find some use for the card though.
There's always audiobooks.
They're having a big sale right now too, IIRC.
EDIT: On second look, seems it's just e-books. Ah well.

You can probably just sell it.
I had a $100 gift card from my MacBook and sold it for $75 on here to a fellow gaffer
Kmart is the most depressing store, I swear. Used to blow my mind to walk in the store past the cereal aisle where all the cereal boxes were sporting promotions from movies and TV shows from 3-5 years prior. Nothing like seeing an Atlantis: The Lost Empire promo on a box of Rice Krispies in 2005.
And then you got the aisles that are only like five feet wide yet packed to the ceiling with crap, so much so that the aisle would be un-maneuverable if there was more than one person in the aisle(which actually wasn't that big of an issue really, considering there's only like ten people in the whole store at any given time).

OP you shouldn't be complaining. KMart is nothing.
This morning, for Christmas, I got a $90 Amazon.co.uk gift certificate...I live in the USA and the good majority of Amazon.co.uk products don't ship to the States.

Just an FYI, I've ran across some blu-rays that are region free and ship to the US
I did some research and Kmart is still open. They have retail stores and a website - even an iPhone app. It was actually pretty easy for me to find, but I am really really good with the Internet.
I went to a website called Google (www.google.com) and used that website to search the Internet for Kmart. I'm not really sure how it works, but boy does it! On the very first page of results I was able to find a link to Kmart's website.
I *think* you can use the giftcard on the website to purchase things from them which they will then ship to you. I know some places will let you purchase something online and then go pick it up at a retail store location, but I don't know if Kmart allows this. Probably a discussion for another thread?
I would buy video games from them.

Those days are over my friend.
The guy who made those deals and organized them and everything was "let go"

I don't understand the problem. She gave you a gift card for that store, surely there's one somewhere in your area. And if there is, there are plenty of games I'm sure you'd be happy to pick up there.
Target usually tends to be nicer and cleaner, less ghetto-y. Kmart just seems like it's stuck in the 70s and nobody's figured out how to bring it out.
Of course, Target being a nicer store has it's downsides, it's seemingly always busy, I'm lucky to get a checkout lane where I don't have to wait.

Buy an Amazon US gift cert with it?

That's not allowed... and there's no refunds, either.

You could always sell it at Plastic Jungle
Looks like they pay 87.5% for k-mart cards.

It's okay, I lived. I don't need your pity.

K-Mart near me sees a lot less foot traffic in the electronics section, so sometimes they have older and rarer games.
They had Dragon Quest V (DS) before the reprint and a few other rare DS games. Obviously they were MSRP, but before the reprint for DQ5 you could probably have gotten $50-60 for it sealed.
My point is you shouldn't complain.

This is true. My local Kmart has a copy of Pokemon Platinum that I've been debating picking up for months now.

Kmart has some pretty amazing vidya deals from time to time. You should check out cheapassgamer.
-They sometimes have some nice deals, and give extra coupons with it. (check the CheapAss Gamer-forums 
)
-I think you can use the Kmart giftcards on Sears; so if you prefer Sears there's that.
-Clearance sections across both stores sometimes have really nice stuff you can't find anywhere else (like some years ago, Metroid Prime Trilogy for $10)

XD I really find this funny, because that's exactly what I would've done if I were in the OP situation XD

Buy Kmart
iTunes Store sells music in un-DRMed AAC. You can play that music on pretty much anything these days.

There is a K-Mart like a mile from where I live. Sure it's not the prettiest or most modern of stores, and mostly old people shop there, but who cares? It has tons of things that you could want or need from electronics, videogames, clothes, food, household items etc. A video game from K-Mart plays the same as from anywhere else.

A mile from your house? You must live in a ghetto.
