Check your wallets: It’s National Use Your Gift Card Day

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Saturday is National Use Your Gift Card Day.

The day is meant as a reminder for shoppers to use their gift cards that they may have already forgotten about.

Americans leave millions of dollars worth of gift cards unused every year. So take a look in your wallets, bags or boxes for any gift cards you may have missed.

Plus, be sure to check for deals that might maximize your gift cards. Many work just like cash and can be used in conjunction with coupons.

If you can’t find anything you like, you can organize a gift card swap party, sell it for cash or donate it to charity.

  • AMC Theatres – Customers can access AMC exclusive offers as long as they remember to use their gift card.
