Can a parking garage expire prepaid parking in illinois
We purchased 10 prepaid parking passes for which we receive a discount over standard rates. When we tried to use them we were told they had expired and were no longer valid. There is nothing on the card that shows an expiration date

No, they can't be expired or cancelled unless when you bought them, there was some notice that they would expire after a given time (if there was such notice, expiring them is legal). Otherwise, they need to remain valid indefinitely. Unfortunately, if they refuse to honor their obligation, you'd need to sue them for the value of the tickets--only a court can order them to honor them or refund the money. You need to decide if suing is worthwhile for you.
