How do"gift cards" work?
  

Top answer

The store gets their money either way. If I have you a gift card, I paid the store the money for it, whether you use it or not. A lot of gift cards go unused every year.

  • If I have you a gift card, I paid the store the money for it, whether you use it or not.
  • A lot of gift cards go unused every year.
  • Stores make a lot of money this way, because again, whether the person who received the gift card used it or not is irrelevant; either way the store makes money.
  • If you spend $22 on a $25 gift card, you'll have $3 left to spend.
