So you think that if your Aunt Gertie in Boise sends you in beautiful SoCal a gift card, then it expires on Boise time and you can't use it at your local Floyd's Hair Salon and haberdashery past that date?

I think that most of the gift cards I have now use the "maintenance fee" idea to get around that pesky law anyway..
