Reporter gift cards are convenient and easy way to allow those on your holiday lift to allow people to get what they want. But watch out. In several instances, the ftc has filed actions against retailers. Reporter William Efron is regional director for the federal trade commission, which several years ago ordered kmart and the olive garden and red lobster restaurant chains to disclose fees on their gift cards and reimburse some customers. Now its federal law that those fees and terms be easily seen. Any Expiration Date on the card must be clearly disclosed on the card itself, and any fees, such as inactivity fees, must be clearly disclosed either on the card or on its packaging. Reporter and those inactivity fees can only be of time. Inactivity fees can only be charged after one year of no use. Reporter those same federal rules mandate gift cards be valid for at least five years and be careful about buying cards online. Know and trust your source. Avoid Online Auction sites. The cards could be fake or obtained fraudulently. Reporter and if you receive a gift card this holiday, the ftc has this advice. Its a good idea to use it right away. People also misplace the cards.
