Complaint Review: VISA

On 12/20/2015 I purchased several $25.00 VISA gift cards at Fred Meyer in Oregon. I gave all but 2 as gifts for Christmas. On the card it says valid throu 02/23 so I kept the cards. I forgot I had them in my drawer. I found them in 2018 and tried to use them. The website and the customer service representative confirmed the balance was zero. The cards were never opened and the reciept was attached. I was told there is a $2 per month non use fee that is why the balance was zero. I bought VISA cards because I thought my money was safe in them. I will never buy a VISA GIFT CARD again.
