Does Scrip expire?

Most gift cards to not expire or have fees assessed for non-use. Please read the back of each card to know the specifics or check the balance online.

Do I get change back from a purchase?

If you use a gift card, any change remaining from a purchase stays on the card. Change may be given up to specific amounts from gift certificates.
