Gift cards are a popular present, but many people admittedly forget about them, and that money goes unspent. In fact, about $3 billion in gift cards is expected to go unused this year. National Use Your Gift Card Day is a great reminder to use your gift cards before they get lost in the shuffle. At RetailMeNot, we’re all about saving money, so we’re obviously all about this holiday!
