'Tis Better To Give, Get A Gift Card With No Expiration
Sandra Block reports for USA Today on gift cards - and tips on how to get the best deal.
Consider giving a gift card from a retailer, rather than from a credit card company. Though gift cards offered by credit card issuers can be used anywhere, they usually impose more fees and restrictions. All the major credit card gift cards analyzed in Bankrate.com's gift card survey had expiration dates, and some expired in six months. Of the 20 top retail gift cards surveyed, only four had expiration dates, from two to five years.
