Well, this is pretty annoying…

A woman named Kelsey sounded off on TikTok after she found out that the Visa gift card she received had some fine print that she needed to read.

Kelsey said that she had a Visa gift card that is set to expire in 2027…but when she checked the balance online, she saw that there’s been a $4.95 maintenance fee charge every month.

She said, “Are you joking? So, because I set it aside and forgot about it, I don’t get to use the card, even though it doesn’t expire for another two years? I don’t get to use the money because [there’s] a monthly maintenance fee attached to it?”

Kelsey told viewers the maintenance fees start if the card has no activity for twelve months.

She added, “Funds do not expire…but they will take them from you.”
