Interesting fact: Americans don’t use gift cards worth 1 billion dollars each year, says The Penny Hoarder.
A certificate or a card is an excellent gift, in which there is no awkwardness in the delivery of monetary amounts, but this implies a cash equivalent. But the problem is that people often give each other cards for goods or services that the addressee simply does not need. Money is spent, but the card remains unclaimed. What to do if you were given such a gift, and you do not want the donor’s efforts and money to be lost in vain?
Go online
Check out the company or store, which gave you a card online. Whether it is a discount on a visit to a sushi bar or a certificate to a home appliance store, it is quite possible you will find something worthwhile to order.
Peredarite
Certificates are rarely exhibited on Instagram to show what you have been given. Perhaps there is someone in your environment to whom this gift card will be useful. Set aside for his birthday - or just give it away, saying honestly that the card was donated, but not needed.
Exchange for cash
Some sites (for example, Raise, Cardpool и CardCash) offer to sell unwanted gift cards. The only problem is that you will not be paid the face value of the card. But if you were given a card for 30 dollars, getting 24 is not bad either, is it?
Gift cards are too convenient for buyers and beneficial for sellers to be required to be sold in the near future. You have all the opportunities to extract your own advantages from such a card, you just have to make a little effort.
