Debenhams launches new gift card to help people make the most of leftover currency with a 10% bonus on top

Britons are sitting on billions of pounds-worth of left over holiday currency, according to a new report from Debenhams Personal Finance.

The average person has almost £60 of foreign currency in their homes, which adds up to a national total of £2.1bn in unused cash - prompting the launch of a new card to help people make the most of it this summer.

The Debenhams Buyback Giftcard allows customers to put the full value of their unused currency in sterling onto the card. The advantage being that the retailer has pledged to add an extra 10% “bonus” to the card to spend in store.
