When this validator runs, what is it comparing? The label or the value? You are 
passing a combination of the two into your validator and expecting it to guess. 
You could try either using a hash for the data structure, and being explicit 
about what you want it to compare:

DURATION_TYPES = {'7 days' => 7, '14 days' => 14 ... }
validates :duration, inclusion: { in: DURATION_TYPES.values }

or you could extract just the second value out each pair (using your existing 
nested array):

validates :duration, inclusion: { in: DURATION_TYPES.map(&:last) }

Please google "Ruby symbol to Proc" to better understand how that last one 
works. If you use the first approach, then you will need to change the way you 
access the constant's values in your select list constructor.
