Everyone has a few. A random stack of gift cards that seemed useful at some point—but now they’re just sitting in a drawer, wallet, or inbox.
They aren’t worthless. But they’re not helping you either. Whether it’s for a brand you don’t use, a store you don’t visit, or something too specific to ever fit into your real needs, that card is just locked-up money.
And there’s no good reason to keep it that way. Instead of holding onto unused value, you can sell gift cards online and get paid for what’s otherwise forgotten. Let Go of “Maybe Someday” Gift cards tend to sit around because we think we’ll use them “eventually.” But more often than not, that day never comes.
You don’t make the trip to that store. The item you wanted is out of stock. You’ve changed habits—or moved on. That’s not failure.
