A number of businesses that issue gift vouchers for a specified activity or experience submitted responses to my Department's consultation of July 2018 on gift voucher fees and expiry dates in which they outlined the issues that the proposed five-year minimum term for gift vouchers would present for this type of gift voucher. While I have considered the concerns expressed in these submissions, I do not propose to make an exception to the proposed five-year minimum term for this type of gift voucher. Having no mandatory expiry period, or a period shorter than five years, for experience-type vouchers would give rise to confusion for consumers and might give businesses issuing this type of voucher a competitive advantage over businesses issuing vouchers for a specified monetary value.
