Check the back of your wallet and the bottom of your drawers — you may want to use those dust-collecting gift cards this Saturday for the inaugural “National Use Your Gift Card Day.”
It’s being dubbed a “shopping holiday” with the goal of getting consumers to shop with their gift cards. Every year, $3 billion is wasted in unused gift cards.
UseYourGiftCard.com is teaming up with retailers and restaurants to offer deals for people who use their gift card this Saturday, January 18.
Gift cards were the most-requested gift this past holiday season with consumers expected to have spent $27.5 billion on gift cards in 2019.
