The law in Alberta is that if you paid for a voucher, coupon or gift card, It can not expire up to the value you paid for it. I don't know what it is elsewhere, its possible the company did not buy the card in Alberta.

So for example if you paid $5 for a $10 gift card. they could put an expiry on it that would allow it to drop to a $5 value after a period of time.

It seems odd to me that there would be different laws for gift cards purchased by corporations. I can't see why consumers would get rights that corperations would not enjoy.
