Many companies apply fees against their gift cards after 12 to 24 months of non-use.  Below is a list of companies with gift cards that do not expire or lose value, based on the last cards we reviewed for that merchant.  Note: if you live in CA, CT, NH, ME, MA or WA, your State's rules may allow for longer periods or no expiration on all companies.  Since these rule continue to change, please search your State's website for the current gift card rules.

We source our gift cards through our companion sites GiftCardBuyBack.com and GiftCardDonor.com where we ask for an Estimated Purchase Date.  Please click this Card Expiration Request link and we can email you an estimate of when a specific card will expire.

Note: companies can and do change their policies, so be sure to read the expiration language on the back of all your cards.
