From an Amazon gift certificate: "This gift certificate is valid for 18 months, followed by a 6-month grace period, after which it will expire." Why make the distinction? Why not just "This gift certificate is valid for two years."?

I was going to add "Amazon doesn't price things like 'This CD is $10.50, plus $4.45, which you should also pay.'" but then it occurred to me that actually they do.
