For as much as this article harps on the "AARP Lie" i.e. how gift cards can be used by "unbanked" customers on "alternate financial services platform" the first thing I advise seniors to do is AVOID those platforms because of the same exact lack of regulation problem. Paypal and Venmo might give you the run around when it comes to your money but banks don't have that kind of option.
