Gift cards remain the most popular holiday giveaway among adults. However, how does one make the perfect choice out of hundreds of cards? GiftCardRescue.com, the popular gift card exchange site, has been surveying its customers for the past five years in order to answer this question. The result this year, based on a national sample of approximately 20,000 gift card wish lists, is the company’s 5th annual Top 20 Most Wanted Gift Cards of 2012. Topping this year’s list is Wal-Mart, followed by Target, McDonald’s, Amazon.com and Home Depot/GiftCardRescue. You can see the rest of the Top 20 gift cards here.
