To get a better idea the value lifespan of an All-Access Visa gift card, one of the most highly reviled and complained about gift cards due to their very short no-fee period and their very high ($4.95 monthly fee), it is helpful to graph the value left on the card over time.

A $25 gift card will be worthless after 12 months, a $50 gift card after 17 months, and a $100 gift card after 27 months.

If All-Access showed a graph like this on their gift card packaging, people wouldn’t be so excited to buy their cards.

Perhaps the above images should be incorporated into the All-Access logo. :)
