Why Millennials Are Buying Gift Cards For Themselves
Young folks have found a new use for refillable gift cards. They are buying them for themselves.A new report issued this week by analyst firm Mercator Advisory Group found a big jump in purchase of these “retailer-specific” cards among millennials. According to Bob Sullivan writing in Credit.com, “Nearly 3-in-5 young adult respondents indicated they bought them during the previous year, up from less than half of young adults who did so in the 2015 survey,” the report said.
The intermingling of these gift cards and apps seems to be behind the trend. Increases in overall retail refillable gift card sales were particularly sharp in the 18 to 24-year-old age range, which saw an increase from 44% to 53%; and among those ages 25 to 34, which jumped from 48% to 57%. The rise is even more dramatic when a three-year trend is considered, among the 18- to 34-year-old set, the jump was from 39% to 57% from 2013 to 2016. During that same stretch, gift card sales actually dropped among those over age 65, and were nearly flat for 35 to 64-year-olds.
Why the increase among young people? Gift cards aren’t just for gifts anymore. Young folks are loading gift cards onto retailer apps, and using the money on themselves, said report author Karen Augustine. “Retailers are introducing more mobile-based apps and offers when using their loyalty and prepaid programs, which may be fueling this growth in retailer gift card purchases,” Augustine said. “Young adults continue to lead this mobile revolution and growing use of prepaid cards as a money management tool.”
The Starbucks Effect
Starbucks continues to lead the way with its coffee cash app, which is little more than a gift-card management tool with a quirky loyalty program sprinkled on top. Still, the Starbucks app is a raging success. About $1.2 billion of customer cash is now loaded on the app/gift card tool, which means Starbucks holds more cash than some banks. About one-quarter of all transactions at U.S. Starbucks stores is now conducted via app. That serves customer loyalty, and it also saves Starbucks a killing on credit card transaction fees.
Meanwhile, the Starbucks app offers a huge advantage to busy young adults, those who pay via the app can skip to the end of the line, pick up their drink, and go. “I believe that millennials are taking advantage of the plethora of mobile apps that retailers have introduced that support their prepaid cards, and they start using more prepaid cards in general for their own use,” Augustine told me via email. “We see more prepaid cards being bought for personal use, not just for gifts.”
Other retailers, like coffee competitor Dunkin’ Donuts, have noticed Starbucks’ success, and now allow consumers to store value via gift cards on their own apps, a feature sometimes called “digitized stored value.” “The discount retailers are doing well in this space, despite their late entry,” Augustine said. “Dunkin’ is a regional brand that we do track, but national fast food chains are popular, too.”
On the other hand, a Forrester report issued last year suggests there’s plenty of room for retail-specific apps to grow. It found that 60% of consumers who use a smartphone to shop online have fewer than two retailer-specific apps on their phone; and only 18% of app users have used that app to store gift card value.
While plenty of store apps let users check gift card balances, or even buy and send gift cards, a study by RSR Research called the Digital Gifting Benchmark Study found that few popular apps complete the cycle and let consumers store and spend money via the app. “Too many retailers still offer no option to buy gift cards via mobile web or app,” the report said. Only 12 out of 100 retailers studied allowed consumers to load a gift card into their app. The study showed Sephora, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, Home Depot, and Amazon as the retailers with the best digital gift card experience.
Wouldn’t it be interest if the home furnishings industry offered gift cards on their apps? It might spark a revitalization in an industry that nearly never moves forward.

Sean Hanish’s ‘Sister Cities’ To Make Television World Premiere On Lifetime September 17, 2016
Sean Hanish’s film, ‘SISTER CITIES’ will make its television world premiere Saturday, September 17 at 8P ET/PT on Lifetime. ‘Sister Cities’ features an all-star cast headlined by Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Jacki Weaver (‘Silver Linings Playbook’), Stana Katic (‘Castle’), Jess Weixler (‘The Good Wife’), Michelle Trachtenberg (‘Gossip Girl’) and Troian Bellisario (‘Pretty Little Liars’), and tells the story of four estranged sisters who reunite to mourn after their mother’s passing, only to discover a secret that could tear them apart. The movie also stars Amy Smart (‘Justified’), Tom Everett Scott (‘Scream: The TV Series’), Emmy nominee Alfred Molina (‘The Normal Heart’) and Kaia Gerber in her acting debut.
Mary Baxter (Weaver and Smart, at different ages) led an enviable life, traveling the world as a young dancer. She was blessed with four daughters from four different fathers, each as unique as the cities they are named after: Carolina (Katic), Austin (Weixler), Dallas (Trachtenberg) and Baltimore (Bellisario). After Mary’s death, her daughters reunite in their New England family home to mourn.As the local police investigate the circumstances of Mary’s death, old animosities among the sisters resurface, and a dark secret threatens to tear the family apart. Faced with a horrifying truth, the estranged sisters must choose to either turn their back on the only family they have known, or risk everything to protect one another.
On the heels of a successful sold-out premiere at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival, Lifetime acquired the worldwide broadcast rights for ‘Sister Cities’. From the team behind ‘Return to Zero’, the independently produced film by Cannonball Productions, is directed by Sean Hanish, produced by Sean Hanish, Paul Jaconi-Biery, and Eleonore Dailly, and executive produced by Kelly Kahl and Alfred Molina. Colette Freedman wrote the script based upon her play.
