Gift card expiration

Recommended Posts

A gun store located in Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville recently refused to honor a gift card that my wife bought me 18 months ago. Their staff said all gift cards expired one year after they are issued.

 

Unfortunately, that position conflicts with Tennessee law:

As a matter of fact, there is still some argument out there that TN cannot even permit them to expire after two years, since Federal law requires that they be honored for five. However, it is certain they must be honored for at least two.

 

Just a reminder to anybody with old gift cards out there - they may not be expired after all. Find out the day they were issued. The merchant has to keep a record. You are entitled to redeem them for two years.

So were they sufficiently awed with your legal knowledge such that they honored the card after all?  :)

Yeah, fraid I'm prone to it. But it was an actual question too.

They were wrong. They realized they were wrong. They corrected their mistake.

 

That's really about all there is to it.

 

Just posted it so somebody else wouldn't lose money they're entitled to. That's all.
