State Laws*
Over the past few years, as gift cards have gained in popularity, states have passed a number
of gift card-related laws. These laws aim to protect the consumer from excessive gift card fees.
In addition, some states are starting to require merchants to report unclaimed/unspent gift
cards to the state. The states then use the interest earned on unclaimed/unspent gift cards to
fund schools.
