What we like:

  • Post-sale fees not allowed
  • Kentucky has legally defined the notion of a gift card

What could be better:

  • Gift cards may expire 1 year from purchase date
  • Merchants are not required to give cash back
  • Gift card escheatment details are not specified
  • Kentucky does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
