Sneakylong We’re talking apples and oranges.
You're def of 'cheating people out of money' is skewed to 1 side.
Weirfan gift cards from almost all retailers are no longer allowed to have expire dates on them .
True, iirc, same here in most (if not all) states; I'm not sure they ever had expiry dates. But from my experiences, the card value can/will decline to $0 after set periods(inactivity fees). Like paying interest.
I'll admit, my experiences are from several years ago as I no longer buy such things.
Because they are scams.😄
