RESTRICTIONS ON COMBINING, SPECIFIC USE, AND BALANCE TRANSFERS
Combining Gift Cards
Some brands may impose restrictions on the combination of multiple gift cards for a single purchase. Please refer to the specific brand’s terms and conditions to determine if combining gift cards is allowed. If combining is permitted, there may be limitations on the number of cards that can be used in a single transaction.
Specific Use Restrictions
Certain gift cards may have limitations regarding their use, such as being valid only for specific purchases or services. These restrictions may include limitations on particular product categories, locations, or whether the card can be used online versus in-store. It is essential to review the terms and conditions provided by the gift card brand to understand any specific use limitations that may apply.
Balance Transfers
Transferring the balance from one gift card to another may not be permitted for some brands. The terms and conditions provided by the brand will specify whether balance transfers are allowed.

EXPIRATION AND VALIDITY
Expiration Dates
Gift cards issued by brands may come with expiration dates, indicating the timeframe within which the card must be used. The specific expiration date will be displayed on the gift card or in the accompanying terms and conditions. It is important to be aware of this date to ensure that the gift card is redeemed before it expires.
Validity Periods
Some gift cards may have a validity period instead of a fixed expiration date. The validity period refers to the duration during which the gift card can be used. The issuing brand will specify this validity period. It is essential to note this timeframe to ensure the gift card is utilized within the designated period.
Conditions Affecting Validity
Certain conditions may impact the validity of the gift card. These can include inactivity fees or restrictions on usage after an extended period. It is crucial to review the terms and conditions provided by the brand to understand any factors that may affect the gift card's validity. Being aware of these conditions will help ensure that the gift card remains valid and usable.
Giftershire is not responsible for any changes to expiration dates, validity periods, or conditions affecting the validity of the gift card. These factors are determined by the terms and conditions of the brand issuing the gift card. It is recommended to review the terms and conditions accompanying the gift card to fully understand the expiration and validity provisions.
Being mindful of the expiration date or validity period, along with any conditions affecting validity, will enable you to maximize your gift card's value and avoid potential loss.
