Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML
Today, I gave my friend a $5 VR set that I purchased from the dollar store for Christmas. I received a $60 gift card. Later, I realized I left the receipt in the package. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML
Today, I gave over $100 to my online friend in presents for Christmas, only to find out he can't use any because of his strict parents. FML
Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, my uncle got me a debit card and put $1000 on it for my Christmas present. However, he forgot to activate the card. The receipt with the 14-digit activation code is in the garbage in Colorado. FML

I would ask your friend if the actually put money on it and if they did get th reciept, when I worked in retail there was a guy we fired because he would ring out a gift card for somone then hand them an empty one and pocket the other. you may fond your friend is a douche or that they got ripped off.

How is this an FML? if you got a stolen xbox and then the cops found it and arrested you, FYL... but a card? who cares... and YDI for expecting money, the thought of giving you something is what it is about. YDI for being a selfish gold digger at Christmas time.

Yes, How DARE the OP expect MONEY from a GIFT CARD! *gasps* That selfish gold digger! (Since you can't hear my sarcasm, I'll tell you how I wanted it's supposed to be said. With sarcasm)

Hun this sucks for you...I mean if your going to steal something then how about a 25 cent card? for the comment below me...how is she being a gold digger by trying to spend the gift card her friend had got her? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that was the reason for a gift card..to spend it? Now It would be being selfish if she got a regular Christmas card and was complaining about not having any money in it..But that wasn't the case.

Does your friend have the receipt? If so, they can still activate it.

The OP does some shopping to find out her card doesn't have any money... I would imagine that would kind of suck. Hopefully she had some spare cash on her
