Open vouchers with a cash value are only available to be redeemed at Gift Experience within 3 years of the date of purchase, which is marked on the voucher. Open value vouchers have no cash alternative value. The experience that is redeemed against the open value voucher is valid for one year from the date of conversion into an experience.
