What we like:
- New York offers a consumer-centric gift card law webpage
- New York has legally defined the notion of a gift card
- New York has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state
- Any expiration or fees must be clearly stated on the gift card
What could be better:
- No limits on expiration dates
- Post-sale fees of any amount may be charged after 1 year of inactivity.
- Merchants are not required to give cash back
- Value will escheat to state after 5 years
