Amend the consumer rights act for gift cards.
Guarantee a minimum of 5 years validity with a recommendation of no expiry
There’s a government statistic from back in 2015 that claimed 300 million was lost each year on gift cards. I suspect it’s a lot more now especially in the live event’s category.
I was given over £300 I’m gift cards last year to celebrate by 50th. Unable to use half as the entertainment industry was still suffering the effects of the pandemic. I asked for an extension and was told ‘no covids over now’. This from a big global ticketing company who clearly need to be mandated as Ireland did.
