Do you think businesses make much money on unused gift cards?

Asked by Jeruba (55843points) November 19th, 2021

Over the years I have forgotten or just failed to use gift cards that probably added up to a couple hundred dollars. In two cases the stores closed before I ever got to use the cards.

These were gift cards linked to specific stores and not all-purpose ones like Visa.

Do unused gift cards add up to any significant amount for retail stores? Are they a hidden asset?
