When do Gifts actually expire?

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit

I received a gift from someone. In the mail it says Claimable Items Expire in 28 days.

However, in my Stash it says that they will expire in 6 days.

Can you clarify how long the gift will be available to be claimed?

Thank you in advance.

Warm regards,
Treinin

This discrepancy goes back several years, and I've never seen a Kabam moderator comment or acknowledge the issue.

One guy posted a warning that gifts expire per the time indicated in the rewards and *not* per the time in the mail message.

I'm facing the same issue and would like to claim some gifted potions in 3 weeks not in 3 hours, but the game will likely delete them in 3 hours so I will claim them now. :-(

Wow, blast from the past of mine 😀
(3 years ago holiday event gifts, Mail vs Stash timer)
Same for all those Gifted items this year.

But this time the Banquet RANK rewards Mail are displayed as too short. Instead of Mail saying 30 days for Rank, it's only saying 8 hrs left (from now, so original 1 day + 6 hrs), while the Stash was it's normal 7 days.

I believe the Stash (7 days) is still correct. There would be *** to pay if Rank Rewards expired slightly after just 1 day.

Claim them now.

EoP and gauntlet are less than 2 weeks away so might as well claim the gifts now

Hmm.
The 22-hr Solo Events now have their rewards listed with 1 day + 6 hrs in the MAIL.
While still it's normal 7 days listing in STASH-REWARDS tab.

Wonder if this was a conscious change made for the Mail Msgs to have their “expires” info shortened, so that there wouldn’t be any loss of rewards by people just going by the Mail Msg time, and then losing out when they are no longer there for that whole long time.
(strange that they couldn’t just make the timer the exact same in both places though)

I lost a ton of items going by the inbox message date instead of the stash date. 😑
