    Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

    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.

    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.

    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.

For the record, if a karen comes to my register for help, I'm going to treat her like gold. If a misogynist comes to me, I'll extend him the same courtesy.

    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.
