Trivia Question

Q: Over $35 million of Canadian’s money is sitting here . Where is it?  
A: Unused gift cards. 

 Over $35 million in unused gift cards are estimated to be sitting in Canadian wallets, with data from Square showing roughly 45% of gift cards go unused or partially unused. While some estimates specifically point to $17.5 million, this only covers a segment of businesses, suggesting the total, including all payment systems, is much higher.
