Years ago, probably around 2001, my sister gave me a gift certificate to Bristol Farms for $50. As is normal for me I misplaced it, but I did discover it last year whilst doing some cleaning. Since BF doesn’t have any stores in the Midwest, where I live now, I gave it to my folks. Well, they haven’t used it either. The nearest store to them is all of 10-15 miles away, just up the coast in Newport Beach, but they never go there.
I’ll be arriving in OC next week, and want to spend some time in Newport. I figured that we could stop in and use this certificate since we’ll be in the area. As I recall, California had a law that states that gift cards/certificates do not expire in that state and want to find out if that is still the case. Does anyone know of this is still the case?

Yes, I don’t think gift cards are allowed to expire in CA (with a few exceptions).

This is a hot button for me. Gift cards/certificates should not be allowed to expire anywhere. ANYWHERE! Stores that take your money, give you a voucher for it, and then say at some arbitrary time in the future, “sorry, you waited too long and your money is mine now, fuck off” should be burned to the ground .
Thank you for your attention. That is all.
