Does my Sam Ash gift card expire?

Under federal rules a store gift card can't expire within five years of the date it was purchased or last loaded, and inactivity fees are only allowed after 12 months without use. State laws can be stricter, and promotional or bonus cards may expire sooner, so check the terms on your Sam Ash card. (Source: CFPB Regulation E, ยง1005.20)
