Summary:An expiring balance may be provided to a user account that the user can spend or pass along to a friend. The user may be given a limited time in which to spend the expiring balance after which the balance will not be available to the user. When the user decides to pass the balance along to a friend, an expiration time associated with the expiring balance may be reset. The expiring balance may be redeemed at participating locations and, if a location is not participating, the user may be able to notify an entity providing the expiring balance of the non-participation.
