Had to place order twice and AGAIN all the cards are locked
First set of cards were locked.  This set of, replacement cards, are also locked.<br /><br />Trying to get someone at Amazon customer service or at the Amazon gift card department (only reachable by an email) has been a nightmare.  I give these cards every year.  I have never had such a frustrating and embarrassing time trying to give a gift.  Been on hold a while now... they just disconnected me.<br /><br />How does Amazon mess up their own gift cards?  Just on/off hold with new Amazon rep... allegedly, there is some Amazon rule when you have a large gift card order they lock the cards and you have to call Amazon to unlock them, not all managers have the authority to unlock the cards, and I have to wait for a call back about the resolution.  I have sent this amount of gifts cards to this same recipient every year for about 5 years.  I have NEVER had this lock/unlock issue, no where on the purchasing page is there any warning or instructions.  In the meantime, Amazon has $700 of my money tied up in their red tape.<br /><br />Next year, I'm giving cash.  Amazon has taken the easiest gift, an Amazon Gift Card, and made it more trouble than it is worth.
