Gift and Loyalty Card sales are predicted to reach $35 billion this year, an increase of 20% over last year’s gift card sales. A study by Comdata Stored Value Solutions revealed the average gift card buyer spent $198 on cards in the 2009 holiday season. Another study found recipients spend an average of 1.4 times the amount of the card. When offering gift and loyalty cards, Merchants experience margin increases from breakage or the unused value left on cards.
