What we like:
- Post-sale fees not allowed Gift cards are redeemable for cash if value is $0.99 or less
- Gift cards do not escheat to the State of Vermont
- Vermont has legally defined the notion of a gift card
- Vermont has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
What could be better:
- Gift cards may expire 5 years from purchase date
- Vermont does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws

Good to know for Vermont residents:
If your gift card expires, the merchant is required to provide the unused portion of the gift certificate, upon request.
Bank Issued card may not charge a one time purchase fee not more than 10 percent of the face amount purchased or added or $10.00.
While Vermont code does not specifically exclude gift cards in any sections code, it is the intent of the legislature, by not mentioning them, to exempt them.
