Comment on Starbucks claims $181M in revenue from unused gift cards (2022)

Comments

I found myself in an interesting predicament. I got given a £100 gift card to spend in a well known department store for my birthday.

I got this card 3 years ago and I have not used it yet, because I found that there is nothing really in that store that is worth below £100 that would compel me to go there or order online and items that interest me but are far more expensive, even considering the voucher I could buy cheaper elsewhere or even find such item used in as new condition.

So while I appreciate such gift, probably if someone scribbled £100 on a piece of paper it would have the same effect to me, but they wouldn't have to spend any money.
