The article says $26 billion in gift cards.
I wonder why percentage never gets redeemed? I imagine companies love selling gift cards because they know x% will get lost and never used.
Purchasers of gift cards are also extending an interest-free loan in cash to the company issuing them. That also accumulates big bucks.
The article also says further down that over the last ten years, $46 billion (with a ‘B’) worth of gift cards never got redeemed. This breaks down to almost $5 per year, which is some 20% of this year’s volume.
