If you’ve ever booked a trip with Expedia.com, you’ve probably received an email at some point this summer offering a free $50 gift card in exchange for booking a trip, renting a car or reserving a hotel room.

Expedia is one of dozens of major retailers, both physical stores and ecommerce sites, that are using giveaway gift cards to spur sales at a time when retail numbers are dismally low. Analysts say these gift cards – some of which have hefty value – are helping retailers by drawing in more customers at a cheaper rate than traditional ad campaigns. For gift card suppliers, giveaway cards may become a stable source of revenue from retailer clients.

The success of giveaway card programs hinges on the two concepts that the cards will first draw in a larger number of customers and then that consumers will spend more than the initial value of the card. Thus far, studies show that consumers spend more than the value of a gift card, whether it was given as a gift or as a retail incentive.
