📜 Our Story

giftkabos was founded in 2023 by a team of consumer advocates and financial educators who recognized the need for clear, comprehensive information about gift cards. After seeing friends and family members struggle with gift card issues—from expiration dates to fees to fraud—we decided to create a resource that would help consumers navigate the increasingly complex gift card marketplace.

What began as a small collection of gift card guides has grown into a comprehensive educational platform covering hundreds of retailers and all types of gift cards, while maintaining our core commitment to consumer education and protection.
