What we like:

What could be better:

  • No limits on expiration dates
  • No maximum post-sale fee or minimum time frame before charging monthly fees
  • Merchants are not required to give cash back
  • No legal definition of a gift card or gift certificate
  • Gift card escheatment details are not specified
  • Outside U.S. does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
