Utah Gift Card Law

Last updated on July 06, 2011

What we like:

Gift cards do not escheat to the State of Utah
Utah has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
Any expiration or fees must be printed in a readable manner on the gift certificate, instrument, packaging, or record.
Gift cards valued at $25.00 or less do not escheat to the state

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
Utah 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.
