Find about expiration dates and fees. And that means the fees you pay and the fees that are automatically deducted after you buy it.

For those receiving gift cards, remember to treat them like cash. If you lose track of gift cards, they won’t do you any good.

See “What You Should Know Before You Buy a Gift Card” for details.
