* Best Buy Gift Card that never expires
* Bloomingdale's Gift Card that never expires
* Delta eGift Card that never expires. It can be combined with other DL eGift Cards, with a max of 3 total forms of payment in one transaction, but cannot be combined with vouchers.
* Macy's Gift Card that never expires.
* Marriott Gift Card that never expires.
* Nordstrom Gift Card that never expires.
* Royal Caribbean Gift Card that never expires.
* Target Gift Card that doesn't state whether it expires or not.
AMEX/MC/VI Gift Cards have an expiration date, but if funds are still on them they by law have to issue a new card. The expiration date is needed for processing via credit card systems, however is not a use it or lose it expiration. Gift card expiration and losing all value went away via a change in law a few years back, thus why cards say they never expire.
