Anna, All this is dependant on your state laws, Nevada doesn't
regulate GC's as much as other states as far as these
escheat laws, (hehe and its not Mississippi divided by any means if
you went to peek at the link Rhonda posted!)
According to that link:
Nevada:
• No fees for the first 12 months
• After 12 months, fees may not exceed $1 per month.
• Covers Gift Cards usable at a single store or chain. Multiple use
cards are not covered
The other link Rhonda posted:
<https://nevadatreasurer.gov/Documents/Unclaimed/UnclaimedPropertyBrochure.pdf>https://nevadatreasurer.gov/Documents/Unclaimed/UnclaimedPropertyBrochure.pdf
contradicts the first link really..
According to one link I found:
Summary of Gift Certificate Laws
Nevada
Expiration – Expiration date or toll-free number to call to enquire
about expiration must be printed on the certificate.
Nevada Rev. Stat. § 598.0921(1)(a).
Fees – Fees must be disclosed and may not exceed $1/month and may not
be imposed within 12 months of issuance.
Nevada Rev. Stat. § 598.0921(1)(b). Effective October 1, 2007,
issuers are prohibited from charging a service fee
for inactivity of less than three continuous years. (2007, Chapter 363)
Gift Cards- Gift cards are covered under the definition of "gift
certificate." Nevada Rev. Stat. § 598.0921(3)(a)
So maybe in NV, since you did print the exp data you can safely tell
this woman to beat it :) But honestly thats not so in all 50 states!

I clearly understand where you're all coming from in the stand point
of allowing the client to use their $...Really I do
However, this client in question has abused a large number of her
services with me from coming in late, showing up on wrong days, no
showing me, going no less then 4 weeks for a fill, making 2 hour
appointments and as she shows up canceling her 2nd service. The
expiration dates on 1 of the GC's was for 2 months out and the other
was for 4 months later, so that she would use them in a timely
manner or at least give it to someone that would use them.
I did offer to give her half off towards a service to be fair not
only to her but to myself as well. The GC's in question are now
almost 6 months past the time they should have been used.
With regard to $ unaccounted for in the states I have never in my
life ever heard of such a thing, it must only be on the east coast
or mid west cause I have never heard of that...I am independent
contractor and work for MYSELF I make my own prices, my own rules
and my own appointments...If I chose to not honor a Gift Certificate
that has been expired for more then a 6 month period that is my
digression It was her mistake for not using it in a timely manner
not mine...I have had this client for over 7 years and know she has
the time to get services and needs them too so she should of thought
more of her money and my time!
Most reputable business' don't honor a Gift Certificate/Card that
are expired or have no money on then, so why should my business be
any different just cause I work as a manicurist? I think NOT, I am
just as reputable as Walmart or Target!!

I also keep gc money in an envelope and pay myself when I do the
service. That way the money is always there when I do the service.
Expired or not.
Anna, I understand why you wanted an expiration date to try to get
clients to get into a routine with their pedi's. You could have the
deal expire on a certain date but if they didn't use it by then they
could still use the money. For example...They purchased a pedi and
prepaid for the second one at half price to be used within X amount
of time . If they did not do that then the money they paid for the
half price pedi would become credit with you, but now the service is
at full price. If your pedi's are $30, the two pedi special would
cost $45. If they got the first pedi and then let the second expire
then they should still have $15 credit. Not for a half price pedi
but $15 toward a $30 pedi or whatever service they want. I
personally would always let them use their money toward something.
At least dollar to dollar. That is why I always put a money value on
a gc. If someone gives them a gc for a pedi but they really don't
want anyone touching their feet but would be interested in getting
nails then I will let them use that money towards nails. I always
put an expiration date because if my prices go up and they try to
use the gc after it expires then I tell them I will honor the gc for
the amount it was purchased for if they will pay the difference in
price. They appriciate that I will honor an expired gc and they
could turn into a good client. Hope that makes sense. This is just a
suggestion and my opinion, I try to put myself in their place. I
forget and let my own gc expire sometimes.

Agreed, and I almost posted that yesterday. The best idea I've had
is to get an envelope, put the money in it, then pay yourself when
it's redeemed.

Well... you can PUT them on the Gc ( to encourage speedy use) but
you have to honor them past the expiration date...OR you can refuse
to honor it but have to send the money that the client spent to
"unclaimed funds" in the governmental offices somewhere.... like
really... who does that? But I think that makes sense..IF someone
spends the money it shouldn't expire.

in got a pedicure and paid cash, 2 weeks later she said "oh I
forgot to use my certificate" I stated to her bring it in and use
it before it expires the next time because I didn't remember that
you purchased them...She called to tell me that it had already
expired....Well if you'd like I can honor it at half off...Now both
of the certificates are expired cause she brought them both in for
me to look at....I'm sorry the most I can do is 1 pedicure at half
off, the special was designed so that you would come in and
maintenance your feet regularly, 1 for each month I can not honor
the special as they are already 2 months expired, not to mention
that if you had a gift card from Target or any other major store
and it was expired they wouldn't honor it either.

or used for yourservices that you would have warrantee
it...Sorry...I'm also really baffled by the fact that she said she
couldn't afford the services from you however she purchased a $30
item from QVC then turned around and asked you to used it on her
