Leftover balance on Gift Cards

[aaronnechama]

Any good ideas what to do with the stack of gift cards that have a few bucks left on them? They are Amex and Visa gift cards with like $3.28 on one, and $2.15 on another.
Is there a way to consolidate them or find a site that can store up the value so they can be used all at once?

I'm not sure if this is state specific, but I've received checks in the mail for the excess balance.

in my experience, in many stores (instore)  you can check out with them and it will deduct what ever is left on the card from the total balance of your order
E.g. your bill is $10 and you have .49 left it’ll bring your total to $9.51
