How much in Gift Cards do you have in your wallet right now?

Open your wallet or purse, what do you see?  Gift cards?  Do you have an unused gift card in your wallet right now?  Maybe there are a few buried in a drawer somewhere at home.

According to a new survey, 51% of us have unused gift cards, and the average person is sitting on $116.  And it might go to waste, 73% of those with unused gift cards have been holding onto them for a year or more.

The longer you hold onto them, the more likely they don’t get used.  Half of us have lost money at some point . . . because we lost the card, it expired, or the place went out of business before we could use it.

Use em!!!
