Ask the Rabbi
- Shabbat and Holidays
- Pesach and the Month of Nissan
- Chametz Sale
Question
If I owned a gift card to a place like starbucks or another place that sells Chametz, do I have to sell my gift card before pesach?
Answer
No. A gift card is not ownership of the property, but just an option to receive goods without further payment. You can use the card after Pesach.
