I rec’d a Gift Certificate (a paper – not plastic in case in matters)
for a Massage at a Spa worth $80.00.

Purchased 12/05 & shows on paper gift certificate
Experation Date of 12/06!

I thought there was a “2 YEAR” time frame to use ANY Gift CERTIFICATES IN NH!

**************************************************
Is the Experation Date of ONLY “1 YEAR” VALID???

Or should I book an appt. & print out this page & “MAKE THEM SEE THE NH LAW OF NO CERTIFICATE UNDER $100.00 HAVING AN EXPERATION DATE”???

PS: MY FRIEND WHO BOUGHT ME THIS ONE ALSO GOT ONE FROM HER SON, BUT SHE’S TOO TIMID TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS & I’M WONDERING HOW MUCH MONEY THIS “ONE” SPA IS MAKING OFF OF SELLING GIFT CERTIFICATES ESPECIALLY AROUND XMAS??

Disney tickets never expire either, even though their prices go up year after year. I have four days worth of admissions sitting in a drawer (I bought a 5 day pass when when we planned on using only 3). Sure, I’m not earning interest or profit or whatever on the money locked up in a ticket but whatever.

Just one more way that they can get you.

We have a Funland in our area. They tell us that the tickets we get for the attractions there never expire.

I’m glad that the states are putting in this legislation!! I’m a constant offender when it comes to not using my gift card before half the value is eaten away by fees.
