Have unused gift cards lying around?

Wouldn't you like to use them to pay your utility bill?

This will become possible within the next couple of months, thanks to a partnership between ChargeSmart

It's not clear from the press release how it will work, but it says the service will allow consumers to apply up to 92 percent a gift card's value toward an outstanding bill for utilities, car, mortgage and student loan payments.

I'll try to get more details and let you know what I learn.

Intrigued?
