A card/certificate for a cash value cannot expire. A card/certicate for a specific item/service, etc can. This falls in the latter category as it's a certificate for a gift card.
If they're paid for up front it's irrelavent.

The law isn't fishy, I meant the situation was a little fishy. Like sitting on a loophole/notsureifloopholeormestupid situation.

This is the part I was wondering about. It didn't seem logical enough of a loophole that an upfront paid amount can completely expire. But it does make sense that the upfront amount paid for it can be used towards the same product.
Thanks for the additional info flamesrule.
