I see lots of overflowing postboxes when visiting farms. I'm wondering why people don't collect their gift certificates. I know that often people are not impressed with what they get, but there's always a chance of something good.

You can only have 40 + a couple collected at one time. Sometimes, the mystery deco will be expiring and I want to see if something comes up that I don't have, and don't want to use them on a lesser possible prize until I see what is offered. I agree that there is always a chance to win a good prize. My BRT and windmills, along with a good number of my instruments were all from the postbox. I also have lots of things in storage, that I probably will never use and that's ok too.Quote:

Others might just forget to collect. And I bet some don't even know they have gift cards waiting for them and that they're trade-able for prizes.
The only thing I wonder about is when the cards stop coming.Quote:

Do the gift cards stop coming at this point, between 45 and 49?
I feel an experiment coming on... I have 30/40, so I will mess with Albert for a few days ;)

Thank you for offering to sacrifice some thank you notes and gift cards for the betterment of our understanding.
Because I don't know what the answer to this is at all. I'm compulsive about collecting gift cards.
I could never allow myself to try any such experiments, the moment I have a package or postcard I collect it immediately!
So do I lol😂😂Quote:

I didn't pick them up for weeks at one point, I just wasn't interested in any of the prizes. It turns out that I lost out on gift cards. Once I used some and collected what was there, the numbers didn't add up. I collected WAY less than the 5/day that I usually get. So there is a cap! I just don't remember what it is....
