Business ProfileforHand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa

I was gifted a gift card to hand and stone from my sister in law years ago. I hadnt had a chance to use the gift card however I was aware ** state law indicates gift cards must be redeemable for at least 7 years. I finally booked a facial for my daughter and planned to use the gift card. When I booked the appointment no one mentioned anything about using a gift card and as we were exiting out appointment and paying for her facial I was informed the gift card expired. I explained I was gifted the gift card and was not given any instructions about it being promotional and expiring in one year. How would I have this information as the party receiving the gift card. This business is trying to use a loophole by stating the gift cards are promotional and must have been bought when they were running some sort of promotion on gift cards so they expire in a year despite MA state law mandating they must be redeemable at least 7 years. They offered no solution to the expired gift card other than I should have used it sooner. Hand and Stone should not be allowed to essentially steal customers money by branding their gift cards promotional so they are on a time clock. I paid full price for a facial in which my sister in law essentially already paid for as well and I should be compensated. This business practice is sneaky and unfair to the consumer! Buyer beware! I seek the business to compensate me for the gift card value because I will not return to this business and caution any other consumer from doing the same.
