The end of the year is a busy time, as many benefits expire then. In this blog, we answer questions that our benefit users frequently ask us.
Before we get started, we want to remind you about expiring benefits. Don’t miss out on using them. If you're unsure where to use your benefits, check out OwnGiftcard here. With OwnGiftcard, you get an additional 3 months to use your benefits, giving you more time to think about where you want to spend them.
