Ever wonder what happens to unused gift card balances? In accounting, that “forgotten” money can turn into breakage income—and it can quietly change how strong a company looks on paper.
This video explains how gift cards create liabilities, when breakage can be recognized, and why analysts watch it closely. Educational only—no financial advice.
Key takeaways:
Gift card sales start as a liability (deferred revenue), not instant revenue
Breakage = the portion expected to never be redeemed
Recognizing breakage can boost reported results
Research suggests weaker retailers may recognize more breakage (earnings quality signal)
US rules limit fees/expiration and shape the breakage landscape
What to look for: disclosures, timing, and consistency across quarters
