Uses for Expired Membership and Gift Cards

April 1, 2011

A stack of gift cards.I found that expired gift cards or any credit card no longer used is excellent for cleaning dishes in your kitchen. It kinda molds to the dish, pot, or pan you are cleaning and scrapes all the gunk off. It is excellent for my cast iron skillet. The card gets into grooves and even gets burned debris off easily. It won't scratch or mar anything you use it on. I just run the card through the dishwasher when it gets gunky.

Reuse any old gift cards you may have (especially if it's a cute print or pattern) as a child's backpack tag or a luggage tag.

Anything with an account number on it, even if expired, needs to be destroyed.

Overlap them, two glued to one, like layered bricks till you have a strip. Make several strips. Glue these together to make triangle shaped boxes, (or rectangular ones). You can even make a lid. Glue some cloth around this base.

Always cover with something so no one knows there are credit card numbers available!
