What we like:

  • Post-sale fees not allowed
  • North Dakota has legally defined the notion of a gift card
  • North Dakota has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
  • Any restrictions, must be discolse in writing at the time of distribution.

What could be better:

  • Gift cards may expire 6 years from purchase date
  • Merchants are not required to give cash back
  • Value will escheat to the state after 3 years of inactivity
  • North Dakota does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
