What we like:

  • Only cards with an expiration date escheat to the State of Nebraska after 3 years
  • Nebraska has legally defined the notion of a gift card
  • Nebraska has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
  • Any gift cards subject to fees or expiration must clearly and conspicuously be printed on the front or back of the card and be visible prior to purchase.

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
  • Nebraska does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
