It worked!
Gift cards make me nervous because one time I got a $50 gift card but somehow it wasn't activated first so I was out $50 and the store wouldn't reimburse me. That has nothing to do with this experience, though. I bought this for my Grandpa for Christmas because he has HBO and Showtime but was very hesitant to get Netflix, which I think is far more important to every day life than any one network because there are so many options for things to watch. As well, my grandpa is retired and sits at home all day re-watching Dexter (or at least that's what I assume), so I felt morally obligated to at least let him experience the joy of Netflix.<br /><br />I went over on Christmas to see if he needed help setting it up, but one of my other cousins managed to help him and he was will on his way through Orange is the New Black. Overall, I'm happy with this product, but I'm even happier that he seems to like Netflix enough so that I won't need to get him a card next year because right now he's watching it on his computer, but I'd much rather get him a Fire Stick so he could watch Netflix on his TV.
