MyPoints RFC gift cert--expiry??

[jkmmah]

I have enough points accumulated (FINALLY!) to redeem them for a RFC gift card. I don't see anywhere on the info where it says when this will expire. Does anyone know? Is it good indefinitely or one year from purchase? Any clue? Thanks!

they dont expire, but after a year they take $1.50 per month off of the balance...Hope this helps!!!!!

Thank you for the quick answer!

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to receive them for your trip or when you want to use it. Wednesday will be 6 weeks exactly since I cashed in for a webcertificate - still no sign of it. I'm starting to get a little cranky - my trip is in less than 4 weeks now.

The ones from My Points dont take long at all... mine took about a week

Well I cashed in on 09/21 (through Mypoints) and just received my webcertificates through email today - so they can take a while. Maybe they're faster on RFC gift cards but I would still give yourself plenty of time. I would hate for you to be planning on using them for a trip and not get it in time. Especially if you're like us and don't have a RFC anywhere near you really.

The actual gift cards are much faster in the mail than the WebCertificates. About a month ago I'd order 2 RFC gift cards and one from Brinker and they all arrived within 2 weeks. I've always found that the actual gift cards arrive pretty quick. Not sure why the WebCerts take so much longer.

Thank you everyone for your responses. We don't have a WDW trip planned right now. The main reason I'm wanting to go ahead and cash out my points for the gift card now is b/c I read on this board that changes might take place at MyPoints and I don't want to miss out on a chance to get the card. Thanks again!
