Thread: New Gift Card Laws Require 5yr Expiriation: how to change yr in store?

This week the new credit card laws have kicked in (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38756899...-consumer_news) Gift cards cannot expire for at least 5 years.

ASPDNSF seems to be hard coded to automatically set a 1 year expiration date. How do I change that to a 5yr date?

Thanks for the article.

The giftcardassignment.xml.config xmlpackage is called by the aspdotnetstorefront application to assign E-Mail and Certificate Type Gift Card Numbers, the expiration default date is also generated there. You can change it easily by changing DateAdd(YY,1,getdate()).

e.g.

Code:

 select newid() as CardNumber, dateadd(yy,5,getdate()) as ExpirationDate

I am having the same problem but when I made that change it didn't affect either old or newly added gift card products purchased by the users. The only thing that changed was the default expiration date if I add it as an admin manually. How can I ensure that all gift cards will be using the default value of +5 years?

I have made the change suggested as well as changing the default value in the database and neither one seems to be working.

Any update on this?

Along with the modification mentioned in the thread you need to modify stored procedure.

aspdnsf_CreateGiftCard

Change
IF @ExpirationDate is null
set @ExpirationDate = dateadd(yy, 1, getdate())

To

IF @ExpirationDate is null
set @ExpirationDate = dateadd(yy, 1, getdate())

That's correct. Thanks, C-clops. I missed that!
