As someone who's been behind the tills when this happens, the tills often decline them at a period set by the company, say 2 years, and there's no override on our end to make it accept it, because it's the company that does this, not the store, you'd legally have to take it up with the company, or call a useless customer support line, and they know by that point you'll probably just accept its more effort than its worth, same with if you remove a warranty void sticker, legally you still have a warranty, but try getting into that legal battle. To clarify I'm not on their side, but the companies know workarounds to shaft you.
Sounds like you’re in the UK, this would only be applicable in the US and as this law was created awhile ago all tills in the US have been coded to accept them.
I Have over dozen panera bread gift cards that has only one month to use it. And they're expired. I wish someone could sue them and I could benefit from that too
While you can sometimes get a refund for any late fees on an expired gift card, the federal laws govern them, so they often last for 1 year as on the 13th month they get a katw fee reducing the dollar amount until they hit zero.
"Yes..." *Stares into the viewer's eyes, menacing. His expression the same as it was, his eyes neutral and dead, in a way that pierces the soul.* "Yes you should."
Be careful for viewers outside the US: it does not always work that way. For exemple in France, it is illegal to put an expiration date on gift vouchers and cards issued by the shop BUT if it's a multi-shop voucher (like Chèques Vacances, Multi-branded vouchers for malls etc) it is still legal to put an expiration date on it and to enforce it.
At Kwik Trip in the midwest, our gift cards start to use about $2 a month out of whatever balance the card has after a year of inactivity until the balance is completely depleted. So, as the card can register and scan, it will come up as no balance. All in all just use your cards when you get them.
I guess it's different at other stores, but where I worked it wasn't US that accepted or declined cards, it was the machine. If the card showed up "Expired" on our screen, there was nothing we could do about it.
Extra knowledge nugget. A ton of different stores have a workaround for this, by making the money on old gift cards slowly go away overtime without using it. So do keep that in mind. That 3 yr old $50 gift card may be empty.
What you’re supposed to say is “I’ll get my manager/supervisor” then eventually it’ll go to the manager of the store and they’ll have to say no or whatever they want to say. Most gift cards don’t even have expiration dates anymore.

This is where you draw on your inner Karen and ask to speak to the manager
Imagine being sued because some short haired middle aged house wife still had $5.76 on a card you wouldn't let her use
@@grahamlopez3742 it’d cost them a lot of money cause they’d have to fight it😂
I would just get my manager because I wouldn't know how to deal with it.
“Sir, I’m a minimum wage worker. Please don’t fight me, I don’t want to be here.”
Then he should just accept it, if it's the law then do it, it's just more trouble for the poor retailers otherwise

@@jackscorner9155 Also usually if the company does that, the employee is supposed to find you a replacement gift card.
@@jackscorner9155im in the USA. It won't go through
fun fact is it’s was actually declared theft because companies were making so much money of people for taking money off gift cards every so often.

“ the card is expired “
“ I invoke the 2nd amendment “
Gift cards should never expire, that’s literally the company saying “you can’t use your own money anymore”
Me: "A lawyer on Tiktok said that you had to accept this."
Cashier: '"I don't care."
My cat spends hours lacking his own ass... can you imagine being that liberated?

“dOn’T tElL mE wHaT tO dO💅🙄”
When I was a cashier, it would decline if it's expired, we couldn't just, override that
You sure that was “milk”
😏
🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
haha you’re soooo funny
😂
I love how this feels like a late night infomercial
It made me cry the fact that he said my milk when he drank it😭
Man gift cards have such a long time before they expire. If you dont use it in that time limit its your own fault. And should not fight it.
“We can’t accept this”
“Why not it’s only 2 years old”
“There’s like 5 bucks on the card and you’re trying to buy an RTX card”
Plot twist: the milk was also expired
Karen is about to go on a shopping spree
You just gave karens the law powerplay. I want to contact your manager
Ikr
Mike you are entertaining, seem nice and are professional. All love to you and god bless you for all these tips
you're complaining to the employee who has no control over it, and the manager of a big corporate store also likely has no control
I checked an old target gift card it said their wasn't a expiration date so I keep it
In Canada they legally never expire. Coupons too.

This is good to know! Thanks!

Thank you
Thank you 🙏

“I invoke the fifth🤓🦶”
HEY IM MIKE GOODMAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE RIGHTS?
Nice to know thanks Mike your a G
Thanks this auctally happened to me last month and I believed that i wouldn’t be able to use it
did you throw it away?
Yes
I like how the dude said "don't tell me what to do"
I did not know that.
he went to get some milk!! then became a lawyer, never came back
this dude and his ways of getting us to follow I stggg
I love you Mike your awesome!!
Mike: I can still use the gift card if it's under 5 years
Store employee: he doesn't know I know this hack. Get out the store
bro is real life Saul Goodman
But of course we do! Mike's my hero!
Great now I gotta deal with karens with old gift cards
"Yes..."
*Stares into the viewer's eyes, menacing. His expression the same as it was, his eyes neutral and dead, in a way that pierces the soul.*
"Yes you should."
Poor guy was used to the grind
I almost cried when he said hey my milk

this is always so fascinating and informative
You pull that when I'm working drive-through and I'm throwing your card into the bushes while watching you.
My man scanned a doughnut🤣
Great job 👏 👍
"Sir, thats a Chipotle gift card-"
Just the thought of the cashier just getting my food lol. Honestly probably they would deserve it for their hard work.

Ohhh karen will love this one
If the gift card has a printed expiration date, it expires.
Imagine if the shop attendant invoked the fifth🤣
In Canada, there’s no expiration date on gift cards
I'm in America I never see an explanation date on them also so I guess it's only a very few stores that have it
What about t&cs?
Karen's around the world are so happy
You have summoned the Karen's
Damn, time to pick up all my expired gift cards.
“Sir, it’s clearly printed when it expires and our system literally won’t allow an expired gift card. If you want to sue us for the $25 be my guest”

They sadly don't

I’m not American and I do not live in America but I still watch your videos they are entertaining and mood boosters
Bruh he just tampered with the store items
And that’s why Mike never came back with the milk.

I’ve never had a gift card that expired I didn’t even know they did
It's been going on since gift cards were invented.
He sounded genuinely sad when he said “Hey my MILK!”
How to be called a Karen speed run any%
The cashier committed a crime.
My dad finally getting the milk and then the cashier drinks it.
Your just giving karens ammunition
Also in states like CA if the gift card is less than $10 they have to give you the cash if you ask for it
Please don't do this
And then mike just went and got another one lol
That why dads take that long time to come back home with the milk 😂
I like your videos! I get to learn law tips and other tips! :)
