Redeeming Expired Gift Vouchers

[lee198]

Im a newbie here, so hi to everyone

I have a couple of voucher that has expired (one just out of date, the other a few months) from a chain store. Just wondering has anyone been able to convince the store to redeem the vouchers? What did you say?

Im finding it hard to just accept the fact I can't use them anymore

New laws have gone into effect. In some states, such as Missouri, the gift cards can't expire or have fees charged against them. I would sure call the stores and ask.

I agree. Even if they have an expiration date printed on them, they may not actually expire. I'd go in and ask. Speak to a manager, not just a cashier.

I had a voucher that was pretty old. It had gotten lost during Hurricane Andrew and I just explained what happened and they allowed me to use it. (Burdines) at the time.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Im going to summons up the courage and ask them to extend the voucher.
