Gift expiry?

I remember gifts in FM5 and FH2 to just stay in the inbox seemingly forever, is that not the case in FM6? We went back into my son’s account for the first time this month, and even though we made sure to get all weekly rewards from the hub, only the last two were in the inbox. None of the earlier rewards, nor any of the gift cars were still available. So, is there an expiry to gifts, and if so, what exactly is it?

Feel free to direct me to the FAQ if I’ve simply missed this.

pretty sure than when you redeem rewards it says something about they expire in 30 days, but im pretty sure i’ve had a few last longer than that

Don’t remember reading that, but last time I checked FM5 and FH2 I still had gifted credits from many months ago just sitting there in my inbox. FM4 and FH credits expire after a month. As for my son’s FM6, the only gifts still in the inbox were from the last 1 1/2 weeks, so these do not even last 30 days. No gift cars found there either, even though that could be a different issue. And yes, I’m absolutely certain hub credits were claimed each week. I’ve been religiously doing this on everyone’s account.

must be only 30 days on the 360 then

so you sure you havent already claimed the gifts from the messages already

Yes, I am absolutely certain. The last time the game was played on my son’s account previously was October 10. Only the last two gifted credits from the hub were still in the account, and none of the gift cars.

Likewise, I’ve checked my wife’s account as well, which was last played October 27, and the same situation here. Only the last two gifted credits from the hub were still in the account, and none of the gift cars.

It would seem there is an expiry to gifts of no more than two weeks, and I simply don’t remember reading anything about it anywhere, so I’d appreciate it if anyone could confirm this.

Can’t confirm, but I only received the last two as well after not playing for about a month.

Well, either gifts have an expiry of no more than two weeks, or some weird once off situation happened between two and three weeks ago that deleted all gifts off the servers. Either way, a more official confirmation would be nice. I will, however, test this now and see whether my newly gifted credits will persist for more than two weeks. I’ll report back with the results, which should give us some more information.
