If you’ve received a MyGift Visa® or Mastercard® from GiftCardMall, you might wonder:
“Does it expire? Will I lose money if I wait too long?”
Let’s clear up everything about expiration dates, fees, and how to avoid losing your balance.
📅 1. Does the MyGift Card Expire?
✅ Yes — every MyGift card has an expiration date printed on the front (typically 5 years from issue).
However:
- 🟢 Your funds don’t expire until used
- 🔴 But your card access ends on that expiration date
If your card expires, you may request a replacement (if balance exists), but it’s not guaranteed.
💸 2. Are There Monthly Fees?
Yes — but not immediately.
| Timeframe | Fee |
|---|---|
| First 12 months | $0 (no inactivity fees) |
| After 12 months | ~$4.95/month inactivity fee |
These are deducted monthly until the card hits a $0 balance.
🧠 3. How to Avoid Losing Balance
- ✅ Use your card within the first year
- ✅ Register a ZIP code and shop online
- ✅ Use leftover balance via Amazon Reload or apps
- ❌ Don’t leave the card unused for months
🛠 4. How to Check Your Card’s Expiration
- Look at the front of the card

📞 5. Can I Extend or Replace an Expired Card?

- There’s balance left

❓ FAQ
Can I avoid inactivity fees completely? Yes — use the card at least once within 12 months. Will my money disappear if card expires? Technically, no — but accessing it may require a replacement card. Is there a way to waive the fees? No — these are part of the card terms. Best option: use it early.
