Spa Gift Certificate

I have an expired gift certificate for a spa। Can I still use it? It expired July 2006 but I think it should? I live in NJ- it was bought July 2005 and has a one yr। expr. date. I always heard if the place is still in business they should honor it. (it's like cash) Does anyone know the answer?

From what I can tell, NJ has a 24 month expiration। Here is the information: Contact the Spa and request that they extend it. Be pleasent and prepared to book a service within the next wo weeks. New Jersey N.J. Rev.
