      I think it’s supposed to be dystopian that you can buy gift cards for Tinder but I dunno, if you know someone is using Tinder then it might be an useful gift. Especially since it’s premium or what’s it called is that expensive.

        Plus there’s the whole economy of people who don’t have access to credit cards, but can buy gift cards in person, or trade for them.

          This. And even if you have one, maybe Tinder is not the company you want to share your credit card details with?

          OTOH, I think you need a facebook account to log in? It used to be like that a few years ago.

              For example, and there may be good reasons for that, too. Picture a person in an abusive/violent relationship who tries to escape.

        “my standards are too high to fuck you myself as a gift, so much so that I decided to purchase you a gift card, with my own money, so that someone else can reject you instead.”

        “oh, thanks”
