Gowallet.com is a gift card tracking site which helps keep tabs on balances and history of various gift cards. It works for some Visa and Mastercard card gift cards as well as some merchant gift cards.
Gowallet has been sending out an email to active users that the service will soon be closed down completely.
We have some very important news regarding your GoWallet account. GoWallet was created in 2011 as an application to help consumers store and manage their gift cards. As our business has grown and evolved, we’ve determined that GoWallet no longer fits with our company strategy, and have decided to retire GoWallet in early 2016. While you will still be able to access your GoWallet account and the gift cards you’ve stored in GoWallet until that time, please be sure to follow these important steps as soon as possible: 1) Log in to your GoWallet account and keep a record of each gift card’s retailer, card number (and PIN, if applicable) and balance. 2) Hold on to your physical gift cards and/or the original emails containing your egifts in the event you need to reference any information printed on the back of the card or within the email. 3) Keep an eye out for additional reminders and updates about GoWallet’s retirement in your inbox. 4) To view important information and FAQs about GoWallet’s retirement, please click here.
It’s a little surprising that they’ll shut down a system which is already up and running; possibly the maintenance cost them too much and it wasn’t worth it for them.
Presumably, when Gowallet shuts down, their gift card reselling option will be discontinued as well.
