Trade Your Unused Gift Cards for United Miles

So, let us guess – you got a gift card for the holidays.

Or two.

Or three.

Or more.

It doesn’t surprise us. The gift card industry has been one of the fastest-growing segments in the country. In the 13 years between 2006 and 2018, sales of gift cards have nearly doubled – from $83 billion in ’06 to $160 billion in ’18.

It’s a great ‘out’ for purchasing presents for friends and family who are hard to buy for, but not everybody likes getting them.
