State Treasurer Clint Zweifel wants Missouri residents to double-check any old gift cards they may have.
Zweifel says any expired gift cards and certificates that for whatever reason went unused may actually qualify as unclaimed property.
"We have about 6-point-2 million in unclaimed property that is made up of unused gift cards and gift certificates," said Zweifel. "We've returned about $107,000 of that money back to Missourians so far; so it's very common."
Zweifel says anyone who's received a gift card should save any documentation that comes with it, in case the card gets lost before it's used up.
The document can then be used to reclaim the gift card should it wind up in the state's hands as unclaimed property.
