Gift cards galore!

[GatorMama]

We don't have a local Kroger with a fuel station so we have to be meticulous about when to buy and use our gift cards and use fuel points. Lately, it's worked out nicely that our trips have been the month after the 4x points promotions. But WHERE do you keep all these gift cards?!? I only bought cards I knew I'd use in the relatively near future: Target, Best Buy, fast food cards for the drive down to WDW and of course Disney GCs to use for tickets and souvenirs when we get there. Should I just load up a wallet with all my gift cards? I sell purses and wallets so it's not like it'd be hard for me to find one.... I'm just not sue what the best thing to do is! What do you do?

When ever I get a lot of gift cards, I take photos of the front and backs (invade of loss) and load up a small men's wallet (why do men always have more card slots?!) with them. I keep that in my purse/backpack and then I always have them on me. If they're something like Starbucks, I load them to the app and discard.

I use a plastic pouch like you might use for coupons. I bought several for Christmas gifts. Bus driver, college age nephew, etc.

Great ideas! Yeah I definitely loaded and used my Starbucks GC before I even got home. Already used and discarded the amazon card I bought last week.... But the fast food definitely won't get used until our trip. Two more weeks!!

We keep them in our safe and take them out when ready to use. I went to Kroger and bought one for Sears before we bought our new range so we have 3400 points for this month so far.

I use mobile apps to combine whatever GCs I can and convert them to a digital GC. Starbucks works well that way. And the Target App also has a way to store Target GCs on your phone. The Best Buy App can check GC balances but I don't know whether you can actually store GCs on your phone. I never have any BB GCs to check it out. Check each fast food restaurant's website to see if they have an app for using your GCs. Dunkin' Donuts has one. I'm sure that others do, too.

I just use a change purse.
