Then there is the Starbucks gift card my mom received (in semi-rural WV). The closest Starbucks to her home is roughly a 2.5 hour drive, one way. At least that chain is in my area, so I get the benefit :)
I tend to stick to store-specific cards, the rare times I get one - they seem to have fewer problems than the "general" cards, and I yet have anyone complain about getting a gift card for, say, the local grocery store chain. B&N or Amazon tend to go over well, but I like to make sure the recipient will actually use it.
