I want to buy a gift card that can be used for online shopping for my sister’s birthday present. I’m 15 and don’t have a credit card.
Can I just go to a convenience store and buy one with cash?
Do I have to pay fees to buy one and how to avoid them?
Can a gift card be used like any other credit cards?
