face it we're spoiled there's a whole
category of stuff that we know has value
but we just never get around to cashing

in the mail for free bottles and cans
and states where you can easily turn
them into money and loose change which
is actual money
like literally add to the list gift
cards more than fifty billion dollars
worth of gift cards are unused since
2005 jewel Gonzalez a card hub says the
way to tap that unused value is just a
click away
they're actually gift card exchange
sites and make it easy to either
exchange for a better gift card or just
get the cash right away and remember
back in the day when gift cards used to
actually decline in value well no more
if they are purchased after 2009 they're
actually prohibited from expiring within
5 years according to the card app Hey

careful there are scam sites out there
