# How to manage gift card expiration

# How to manage gift card expiration

Gift card expiration is set at the moment a gift card is created. The Gift card expiration setting in your Partner portal controls the expiration applied to all gift cards created from that point forward.

|| You can always extend the duration time of a gift card manually. You cannot shorten the gift card duration time.

### How gift card expiration works

Each gift card receives its expiration date at the moment of creation, based on the Gift card expiration setting active at that time.

* Changing the Gift card expiration setting never affects existing gift cards
* Each existing gift card retains the expiration date it was assigned when created
* The current setting applies only to gift cards created after the change is saved

###### Example:

* Gift card A created on 01.06.26 with a 1-year setting → expires 01.06.27
* Setting changed to 3 years
* Gift card B created on 02.06.26 → expires 02.06.29
* Setting changed to 2 years
* Gift card C created on 03.06.26 → expires 03.06.28

Gift card A's expiration is unaffected by either change.

### Update the gift card expiration setting

1. Go to [Settings → Gift Cards](https://partner.superbexperience.com/settings/gift-cards) in Partner
2. Locate Gift card expiration
3. Enter the desired duration
4. Click Save

All gift cards created after saving will use the new expiration duration.

Note: A duration is always required. Before setting an expiration period, check whether your country has a legal minimum duration requirement for gift cards.
