The expiry date is new to me... Good question

cool! new 2 mE!

Thanks nowandagain

I never really thought about / knew that. It is certainly something worth bearing in mind when you send out IRCs!

Yes, IRC's do have expiry dates.

All the ones I've seen to date have an expiry date of 31 December 2006. You can check the expiry date on your IRC's by:

1. Checking the writing on top of the box on the right-hand side for the date. It should say in French: A échanger jusqu'au <date> (mine says 31.12.2006)
2. On the back, check the tiny red writing right on top of the barcode. In a number of languages it states the expiry date (e.g. in English it says "Must be exchanged by <date> - mine says 31.12.2006)

Some celebrities are really kind when it comes to return postage. If they pay for postage, you should re-send IRC's to another celebrity if you do get them returned. However, if they've expired, you may be able to get them exchanged at your post office for a valid one. If all fails, send them to a new celebrity and hope for the best.

Good luck
