1 The Amazon.com Gift Card will be delivered via email by TripAdvisor after your review is published and TripAdvisor has confirmed your stay. â  Only bookings made via âBook on TripAdvisorâ on TripAdvisor.com are eligible. You must make your booking with a valid US address in order to be eligible for the offer.
Reason #2: Another Chance to Check Up on You. âA limited term expiration date of say three years (typical), allows the credit worthiness of cardholders to be revaluated on an ongoing basis â in addition to the normal annual review,â says Bob Hammer, founder and CEO of R.K. Hammer, a bankcard advisory firm.
Then you look down at the card and realize, with a mixture of relief and annoyance: Oh, this card expired yesterday. The short answer: Fraud prevention. The major networks (Visa and MasterCard) mandate that issuers (your bank or credit union, for example) put expiration dates on credit and debit cards. They're meant to serve as one more data point that needs to get verified before a charge goes through.
