OK. Another question. How do you spend 'part' of your stimulus check at a
particular store?

I can't speak for all stores, but the ones whose policies I read say
you have to bring in your check (or, in my case, proof of direct deposit),
and you can buy the gift card. You can spend part or all of your check
that way.

How they know you aren't then getting a gift card from another store
with the same documentation, I don't know.

right, I'd rather put the money in the bank and use it as and when I
needed it... (Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know exactly how it works.)

I should find a local business who could use a shot in the arm.
