Woolworths have announced they will put an end to the 12 month expiry date on gift cards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woolworths have announced they will axe expiry dates on gift cards – not just on new cards, but also on cards already issued.<\/p>\n

Previously, gift cards had a one year expiry date.<\/p>\n

However from March 31, all customers holding active Woolworths Group gifts cards will be able use them at any time.<\/p>\n

The change will also apply to all Woolworths cards purchased on or after March 31.<\/p>\n

Many customers have been caught out by failing to redeem gift cards before their expiry date, but will now have the flexibility to use them whenever they please.<\/p>\n

The move comes ahead of foreshadowed changes to expiry dates which have been advocated by consumer groups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NSW government has introduced a mandatory minimum three year expiry period for gift cards and gift vouchers sold to consumers in NSW, which becomes effective at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Other states have yet to follow suit, but are expected to follow NSW’s lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
