With a prepaid card the card usually expires after a year. At this stage any remaining money on unused cards is available to be returned to the client. Typically with single load cards 5- 25% of cards do not get used (this does vary with the value loaded). This means the net cost of the cards is likely to be below that of the gift vouchers.
