These users saved hundreds—here's how

Published March 2, 2025

There are lots of ways gift cards get wasted—but it doesn’t have to be this way! 😩

We help Gift Card Guard users put an end to their money-wasting habits, sometimes saving hundreds in the process.

Here are a few success stories from users like you:

Nick uploaded a $100 Visa gift card.
We were unable to check the balance, as the card had been compromised in a past data breach.
We submitted a request on Nick’s behalf and got a replacement card for the full $100 amount. 🙌

Kristina uploaded a card with $135 merchandise credit to Brooks Brothers.
There was nothing she wanted from the store, so the card had been collecting dust for years.
We helped her exchange the unwanted card for $100 cash. 💵

Joan uploaded a $200 Ticketmaster gift card.
The card went unused for so long that it was transferred to the State as unclaimed property (i.e., escheated).
We submitted a request on Joan’s behalf and got the full $200 amount returned as a check. 🫨

Jay uploaded a $350 Lowe’s gift card.
Once we knew that, we alerted him to some major deals at Lowe’s for Black Friday.
He found a top-of-the-line Whirlpool dishwasher for 55% off and covered the entire purchase with his gift card—saving $500+ in the process. 🍽️

Kim uploaded a staggering 30+ gift cards to the app. (She had no idea she had that many until she started looking!)
Some were 5+ years old and had already lost ~20% of their purchasing power to inflation.
Once her cards were tracked in the app and added to her reminder emails, she used them all in record time! 💸

How much can we save you? 🤔

The 1st step is to upload all your gift cards. As soon as you do, we’ll get to work finding you ways to save.

We hope it’s a boatload!
