Score! Retailers retaliate!

Have other jurisdictions created perpetual gift cards?

Who wants to issue unlimited-in-time debt?

Will there be two types of cards?
1) account with non-expiring balance
2) cards labelled like coupons: good this week* only!

It could be "2008" or "May 2008" to avoid the illusion of perpetual
validity.
