Nah these pretend money things have an expiry date exactly for that reason. Check any kind of gift card, voucher, reward scheme etc.

Companies don't want never-expiring liabilities and they also want to make money from people not spending account balances.

Gift card balances cannot legally expire in California. Further, if the balance is <$10 it must be redeemable for cash.
