What we like:

Kansas has legally defined the notion of a gift card

What could be better:

Gift cards may expire 5 years from purchase date
Post-sale fees of any amount may be charged 1 year after date of purchase.
Merchants are not required to give cash back
Gift card escheatment details are not specified
Kansas does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws

Heads up! ScripSmart attempts to make all information accurate. ScripSmart is only a guideline and does not provide definitive statements of the law. If you have questions about the law's application to a particular case, direct them to a specialist.
