# Do GiftPay eGifts expire?

Yes, GiftPay eGift Cards expire, but the actual validity period and expiry date can change depending on what the gift card recipient chooses.

GiftPay eGift Cards have a **variable expiry date** that works as follows:


1. Initially the Flexi eGift Card will be valid for 3 years from the delivery date.
2. When a recipient selects a retailer gift card, the expiry date of that retailer gift card applies.
   * If the retailer gift card expiry date is after the original Flexi expiry date, the entire Flexi eGift Card will be extended to match.
   * If the expiry date of the retailer gift card is before the original Flexi expiry, and that retailer card uses up the full value of the Flexi eGift, then the entire Flexi eGift Card will expire when the retailer gift card expires.
