Gift card: Overview of consumer protection laws for different states

With the christmas less than 2 months away, many people will be buying and receiving gift cards. While gift cards provide flexibility to the recipient in terms of what he/she wants to buy with it, the problem is that some of those cards may have expirations, dormancy fee, etc. However, such restrictions vary from state to state. Came across a nice link listing a brief overview of the consumer protection laws for different states. For example, according to the Consumers Union Web site, in Connecticut, gift cards currently can't have expiration dates or fees.

For details, see:
