Oklahoma Gift Card Law

Last updated on April 27, 2011

Green Badge = Good Consumer Protection

Grade A or B

 Green Badge = Needs Improvement

Grade C or D

 Green Badge = Poor Consumer Protection

Grade F
C

What we like:

  • Oklahoma has legally defined the notion of a gift card
  • Oklahoma has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
  • Any fees must be disclosed in 10 point font on the gift card and be visible prior to purchase

What could be better:

  • Gift cards may expire 5 years from purchase date
  • A $1.00 monthly fee may be charged after the balance is $5.00 or less and the card has been inactive for at least 2 years and the card is reloadable
  • Merchants are not required to give cash back
  • Value will escheat to the state after 5 years of inactivity
  • Oklahoma does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
