In the United States, each state legislature mandates how dormant charges may be applied and how expiration of gift certificates or gift cards must be handled. In some states, escheat laws mandate that some or all of the unclaimed amounts left on card accounts become the property of the state. The National Association of State Legislatures maintains a state-by-state listing of Legislation Regarding Gift Cards and Gift Certificates.
Contact your local or regional authorities for information about laws regarding dormant charges outside of the United States.
