Millennials are most likely group to have unused gift cards, study finds
Here's a quick tip for those who may have forgotten about any gift cards they've been saving.
Prices are rising and according to consumer experts at Bankrate said nearly half of U.S. adults have at least one unused gift card in their homes.
The average value of those gift cards is $187. That means $23 billion is being unused nationwide.
So, before you head to the store to make a big purchase check to see whether you have any unused gift cards you can use to save some cash.
Also check expiration dates. Because of the Federal Card act of 2009, most do not expire for five years.
