The state law requires N.J. retailers to collect zip code information when selling the gift cards. If the full value of a card has not been redeemed within two years, the state believes it can retrieve it as unclaimed property.
Blackhawk supplies 175 gift card brands to 1,300 retailers within New Jersey,mainly grocers, while InComm supplies 2,500 retailers with gift card brands such as Visa, MasterCard and iTunes, according to the report.
"The passage and potential implementation of these legal changes have caused significant uncertainty for New Jersey consumers and retailers," said Blackhawk President Talbott Roche. "As it stands now, Blackhawk Network and its retail partners do not have a cost-effective way to record data from gift card purchasers or their ultimate gift recipients."
InComm also cited its partnerships with third parties as a reason to leave the state, noting that it could not ensure compliance. "We unfortunately have no choice but to remove all our gift cards and gift card destinations from retail locations in the state of New Jersey," concluded CEO Brooks Smith.
