Marks and Spencer has 215 million pounds on unused gift cards: how to get your money.

Don't let gift cards go to waste

According to The Sun: Received gift cards for Christmas? Then make sure they don't become useless! The cash value of such cards typically expires if not used by the end of their validity period, so be sure to activate them.

In November last year, Marks & Spencer reported that there was over £215 million left on their cards that had not been spent.

How to use gift cards

• Check the expiration date of the card.
• Research where you can spend the card.
• Use the card before it expires.

Gift cards can be a great way to treat yourself or loved ones if used in time. Don't forget to check the terms of use and any potential restrictions to make the most of your funds.
