how long does an Xbox gift code last

[Windows Central Question]

I want to buy a gift for my friend but they won't be around for 2 months,will the code last that long

gift cards purchased at retail never expire. Note that promotional gift cards like those from Microsoft Rewards or Xbox Live Rewards do expire.

I believe that, if it will expire, the expiration date will be on the card.
