I worry about losing my purse if I have them in there all the time since they usually cannot be replaced. I just write on them with a sharpie. No shame in making them ugly :-) I also write $0 when I'm done with them since I occasionally forget to throw them out (or see them in the trash) and then get confused if there is a balance. Btw many states have laws saying that cards < $x can/must be cashed out. In my state it is $5. aegie on "How do you organize giftcards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-giftcards#post-1753052 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:37:21 +0000 aegie 1753052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a small post it on the back of each one and write the total on it. Then scratch it out and put the new total until it's 0. A lot of places dont accept giftcards if you can't pay off the entire balance with it, so for visa, mc giftcards, I use the ones with very little balance left at target. since they ask if you want to split it up among multiple cards. It's the best way to use up those pesky dollar and change balances! mlm2934 on "How do you organize giftcards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-giftcards#post-1752857 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:07:26 +0000 mlm2934 1752857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't - I spend them lol! DH and I both have a really hard time saving gift cards for more than 1-2 weeks. gingerbebe on "How do you organize giftcards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-giftcards#post-1752851 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:05:29 +0000 gingerbebe 1752851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My friend just always kept all of them wrapped in a big rubberband in her purse at all times! I suppose you can be more organized about it and keep it in a small coupon/receipt organizer by alpha order or by retailer type.

Do you have a system?
