InComm Removes Gift Cards from All Stores in New Jersey, Effective June 30
 |
| Image via CrunchBase |
As a result of the newly modified New Jersey unclaimed property law, InComm, the leading gift card provider, has announced it will remove its Vanilla Visa® Gift Card and Vanilla Visa MasterCard® Gift Cards from thousands of retail locations within the state.
ATLANTA – April 5, 2012 – InComm, a leading prepaid product and transaction services company, announced today it would remove its gift card mall program – which includes gift cards such as iTunes®, Macy’s, Chili’s, Maggiano’s, SUBWAY® Card, Lord & Taylor, etc. –from over 2,500 retail locations in New Jersey, effective June 30. These retail locations include the nation’s leading big box, pharmacy, discount, convenience and grocery chains.
Today the company also announced the removal of its Vanilla Visa® Gift Card and Vanilla MasterCard® Gift Card products from the state. With the additional removal of the gift card mall, gift card kiosks or “destinations” offering multiple brands of gift cards will no longer be available to consumers in New Jersey stores.
The company’s actions are in response to the 2010 modifications to New Jersey’s unclaimed property law which were designed to fill a budget shortfall. As a result, retailers selling gift cards will now have to capture a gift card purchaser’s personal information (which may include name, address and/or zip code) at the point of sale. This information will then be kept by card issuers and is reportable to the state. After two years of inactivity, New Jersey will automatically take the unspent money, even if the card has not expired.
A recent third-party survey of approximately 700 New Jersey residents showed that:
· 89.7% do not want the new law to go into effect
· 94.3% do not want to lose the ability to purchase gift cards in the state
· 90.9% do not want to provide personal information when purchasing gift cards
“Because InComm is unable on behalf of its third-party gift card partners to ensure compliance with this law, 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,” said Brooks Smith, President and CEO of InComm. “As always, we are committed to providing the best possible products and services to our retail and brand partners and ease of use of these products for consumers, and we regret that this new law keeps us from doing business in New Jersey.”
Smith went on to say, “In addition to the compliance issues this law creates, we are very concerned that our New Jersey consumers will not have continued access to their gift card funds. States should not have the right to remove funds from an unexpired gift card.” Under federal law, gift cards cannot expire earlier than five years after purchase, and in fact most gift card funds never expire. In spite of such broad federal protection, consumers who purchase gift cards in New Jersey will be deprived of the value of those cards after two years of non-use.
