With the 2022 Holiday Season officially underway, stores will be making it easier (and less expensive) to buy what is already the most-requested gift of the holiday season–gift cards. The best gift card deals are typically announced early in the month, might only last a day or two and are likely to end by mid-December.
Stores know you will either procrastinate doing your holiday shopping and end up buying gift cards at the last minute anyway, or you will turn to the trusty plastic after spending the early part of the month trying to find the perfect traditional present.
