Help Desk FAQ
Gift Cards
Are the gift card laws in my state the same as federal laws?
Not necessarily. Consumers Union provides a list of gift card laws by state. You also can contact your state’s consumer protection office online or by phone for more information. Find contact information in the Consumer Action Handbook. Typically, state law prevails if it is provides stronger protections for consumers than federal law.Quick Menu
