National Use Your Gift Card Day® Is January 15, 2022

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With the supply chain disruption top of mind for many consumers this holiday season, gift cards offer shoppers an easy solution. To keep them from being the season's most wasted leftover, National Use Your Gift Card Day will return on Jan. 15, 2022.

National Use Your Gift Card Day is in response to the estimated $15 billion worth of gift cards that are going unspent, as Bankrate.com recently revealed.

"Gift cards are an ideal choice to give and receive, but it's easy to forget about them after the holidays," said Tracy Tilson, Founder of UseYourGiftCard.com. "National Use Your Gift Card Day reminds recipients to use the cards for a post-holiday splurge or to make a difference by donating their cards to charity."

Gift cards remain a top choice for holiday shopping, according to the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights and Analytics' November 2021 consumer survey:

• Consumers plan to spend $28.1 billion on gift cards, up from $27.5 billion in 2020.
• Nearly half (46 percent) of consumers expect to give gift cards this holiday season, which comes second only to clothing.
• The average holiday shopper will buy three or four cards and spend almost $50 per card.

"Consumers have embraced the convenience and flexibility that gift cards offer for both holiday shoppers and gift recipients," said NRF Senior Director of Industry and Consumer Insights Katherine Cullen. "Gift cards allow recipients to treat themselves to the items at the top of their wish list, whether that take place in-store or online."
