This.
Stores get the dosh up front and supply nothing. They make money from the positive cash flow and if the recipient forgets about or loses the voucher they love it all the more. Points schemes are the same - instead of giving us a paltry reward for loyalty after collecting eight squillion stamps give us better prices now, but the stores are expecting us to give up and forget the points (are you listening Shell?).
