Dealpass Gift Card Expiration Lenths

I havent seen any information on how long each Dealpass gift card lasts. So, I thought I would start a thread to help collect that information. I think cards can't expire in CA, or at least that is what many say. Here is what I know so far:

- Amazon: Fully expires in 2 years. Usually it takes about 2 weeks to get it, so you have 102 weeks to spend it.

- Barnes & Noble: No expiration date. Only one gift card per online order.

- Bath & Body Works: No expiration. Call 1-800-640-6052 for balance. Use online or B&M.

- Bed Bath and Beyond: No expiration or service fees. Use online or B&M.
Check Balance
Terms and Conditions

- Circuit City: No expiration or service fees. Only FOUR cards/order. You can, however, go into the store and have them combine the cards. I have done this and had no problems.

- JCPenney: No Expiration - can use B&M, online, and over phone.

Um, is there a difference between DP GCs and "regular" GCs?

I could be wrong, but aren't expiring gift cards illegal in some states such as CA?

Who do you guys care the exp date?

Take Shell as an example: $1.75 monthly fee after 12 months none use. So what? Use it at the 11th month (spend $1), then you will get another 12 months without being charged any fee.

Or buy a new gift card at local store using your old gift cards if allowed. (e.g. Toys R Us)

robertw477 said: How many Amazon gift cards can you buy from them. Is there a limit on any of the cards? Where can I get the Shell gas cards?

Robert

You can really get a lot of Amazon cards if you sign up for different programs. For Shell cards, you need Today's Escapes. See the updated info above.

The other trick is to convert your Walgreens/CVS cards into cards of stores you really want.

atohmc - Yes, it's based on where the cards are purchased.

Unless the dealpass info mentioned that the GC's have a fee after a certain period of time - and I don't remember seeing that info - I'm assuming that there's no inactivity fee.

Can a current dealpass member please check the TOS and see if this is mentioned?

Dealpass comes up so many times, yet I haven't found a thread with conise information on how to take advantage of (like what kind of membership so that we can order these cards, and how much % of savings you get in each store). Can anyone point to such a thread, if it exists? Thanks.

RightHere said: haridsv - the link to the discussion on Dealpass is in the OP! "concise" might be a problem, but that's the best link you're gonna get.

Thanks, I didn't see the link, thought they were one of the store links (like for Target) and didn't pay attention.
