What should I do with a found gift card? I was walking to the store and found a gift card in the street. There are no real businesses around there so I don't know how it got there exactly. my question is, what should I do with it? Should I take it to the police? Should I just throw it away? Should I call the number on the back to see if there is still money on it? For all I know, it could be expired or have no money left on it, but it also could have money still on it. What should I do in this situation?

Re: Found gift card
I'd call and see if there is still money on it and whether or not it has expired. I'm sure the police won't do anything about it, unless you live in a really tiny town. -
Re: Found gift card
I'd investigate its value first. Chances are its probably no good, therefore someone who doesn't know where a trash can is, made his/her own. If there is value on it, I would turn it in the the store/back to the issuing company.Comment

Re: Found gift card
Another suggestion:
If there is a value on the card, why not find a charity organizationa and donate the card to them? The store/merchant has already received the monetary value so they aren't going to lose anything.
There's really no way for the police or anyone else to determine who owns it.
Just a thought.Comment
