| Had a rebate card for a motor oil rebate stuck in my wallet, Saving it for a rainy day. Just looked at it and it says good thru November 2025. Don't forget to use the gift cards you get for Christmas before they expire. Merry Christmas |

Last year I tied a gift card to my Amazon account, made it a lot easier to remember to use it. Ted ------------- 190XTD seriesIII, 190XTD seriesI, maroon belly 7000, 190XTD series??? project(or maybe parts) |

Always letting coupons and gift expire before I think to use them plus missing one day sales at HF because I don’t have time to drive over there. Thanks for the reminder. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

They shouldn’t expire but if the business closes, or in my experience, new owners, they are no longer valid. |

Gift cards never expire in Ontario ( probably Canada). Went to court as money was already in the stores bank account. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| In my case I was talking about a loaded debit card that was sent for a motor oil rebate. I will try it next time I go to the farm store and get the check out lady I know. Worst that happens is it is declined😢 |

Kind of hard to get blood out of a turnup though.  I had several hundred bucks of Sears gift cards. I managed to get to a Sears store an hours drive away and turn it into tools  in that stores going out of business sale. If I would of missed out then it would be rather hard to get much out of Sears today. I lost $10 to $40 at a local Chinese tool store. They started in 77 or 78 sell cheap tools. The owner was good replace anything that you broke. I got tired of breaking braker bars for 1/2 inch sockets and paid up for a Proto finally. But he traded me several times no questions. About 2000 he moved to a much bigger store. Soon after we got a Home Depot and about 5 years later, I went by and the local tool store was empty. It would be really hard to get the change I had on my last gift card from that store. Even though California has the law gift cards don't expire. |

Depending on State laws, in some States, merchants are not allowed to issue gift cards with expiration dates. A couple years ago when unpacking some ‘miscellaneous’ marked boxes, uncovered a couple Shopko gifts cards, seeing as Shopko went bankrupt, and closed up years ago, those gift cards are worthless. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |
