Tomorrow Is "Use Your Gift Card Day"
Â
Tomorrow is National "Use Your Gift Card Day," which is also known as "The Day You Walk Into an Outback Steakhouse and Think, 'Wow, It's Busy Tonight.'"
Â
This "holiday" has been around for a few years now, and it's basically just a reminder to use the gift cards that you got over the holidays . . . before you toss them into a drawer and forget about them.
 Â
I know, there's nothing exciting about spending your Saturday night at Chili's . . . but it's the middle of January, do you really have a better option?
 Â
According to CreditCards.com, $21 BILLION worth of gift cards will go unspent this year . . . and 47% of American adults say they have at least one unused gift card, voucher, or store credit lying around.Â
 Â
And the average person was sitting on $175. But that was in August . . . the holiday season has just passed, so you might have a lot more than that.
 Â
So, here's what you do: Keep your gift cards with you so you have them when you need them. Or if you REALLY don't need them, consider donating them to a good cause . . . or sell them for partial credit in CASH online.Â
