i absolutely get the underlying intention, but the bad feeling of having missed the deadline and ending up with a voided present is just awful
Most gift cards I know of have no expiration dates. Gift certificates, something from a more barbaric age, on the other hand...
No expiration date? In which country? I'm in Australia, I've worked in a couple retail stores and it's usually a 3 year expiry for gift cards. You also have the generic visa gift cards you can purchase at supermarkets, same 3 years.
Believe it or not, in the US I haven't seen a gift card with an expiration in probably a decade, outside of the generic visa ones draining to zero over time due to maintenance fees.
They can still do an expiration date, but it has to be 5 years out.
