I've never bought a VISA gift card, but I've heard that some of the "credit card" type gift cards charge a fee to purchase them. There is no way I'd pay a fee to get someone a giftcard.

I'd go with whatever store is closest to the parents to be.

If they're close to a bunch of stores then I'd go for Target.
