They are a
great gift for the person who has every or who is difficult to please.
Retailers love them and they are a multi-billion dollar industry. Gift cards
have exploded onto the scene over the past number of years as a fast and
convenient way to give a gift to someone. And most people love getting them
since you always know that you will be getting something you really want.
Just how
popular have gift cards become? Well numbers found from Statistics Canada
showed that in 2003 about one third of all retailers were running a gift card
program. Three years later that number had increased to around 82% of retailers
that sold gift cards in their stores. And the biggest reason could be
convenience.
If you have
a teen who just got their driver's license it is not exactly practical to
wrap-up a canister of gas as a present and you certainly are not going to give
them your credit card. But you can very easily give them a gift card for $100.
Or by giving a card that is good for a bus or train ticket you will not have to
worry about travel dates since the card can be redeemed for a ticket at any
time.
