If I Don't Claim a Home Depot Gift Card, What Happens?
Home Depot Gift Cards come in digital and physical versions that can be bought and loaded with funds online or in store at any time. These cards have no fees or expiry dates attached to them, and even if you or your recipient don't claim a card you have, it's still usable indefinitely.
Home Depot issues gift cards in both physical and digital form, depending on which you prefer. Physical Home Depot gift cards can be obtained in store or ordered online and sent via mail to any address in the United States. Digital Home Depot egift cards can be ordered and preloaded online and then emailed to you or a recipient of your choice. These digital cards can then be printed out or saved to someone's Apple Passbook or Google Wallet.
In the case of both physical and digital gift cards, you can reload them at any time and use them for in-store purchases in any Home Depot Store or online on the retailer's website.
Failing to Claim a Home Depot Gift Card
In the case of both physical Home Depot gift cards and the digital egift card versions, once you've activated and loaded one, it has no fees attached to it and no expiration date. The card is usable as soon as it's been bought and loaded with its minimum balance or more. Also, because these cards have no annual or other fees attached to them, yours won't lose its existing balance by itself just because you haven't claimed and used it.
On the other hand, Home Depot can cancel or invalidate an existing gift card at its discretion for any number of reasons, or if it suspects that the card was obtained and funded through fraud.
If you have any questions about buying and loading your own Home Depot Gift Card, you can also contact Home Depot's customer support for the latest terms and conditions on these convenient little gift options.
