ABOUT A THIRD OF THOSE WHO GET GIFT CARDS, TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT, DON’T EVEN USE THEM, ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS.
IN TONIGHT’S WALLET WATCH: HERE’S WHAT THE ORGANIZATION SAYS YOU CAN DO.

AND BE CAREFUL WITH THE BANK ISSUED GIFT CARDS TOO: SOME ARE LOADED WITH FEES.
AND IF THE BANK FAILS, THE VALUE OF THE GIFT CARD MIGHT NOT BE INSURED.
