DON'T PUT THIS ON YOUR REGISTRY
I am a loyal Amazon customer. I have been a Prime member for years and so when it was time for my (now) husband and I to make a registry for our wedding, Amazon was an obvious option. As I searched through all the options of things to put on the registry, this popped up as a suggestion. My husband and I both work multiple jobs and money is always tight, so I figured if we were given this as a gift, it would be a nice excuse to get away for a weekend.  Well, it turns out if people contribute money towards this in your registry, you don't actually get the gift cards. You are just given credit to Amazon. After 1 email, 2 different people on messenger, and 4 different people on the phone I was told it is illegal to use group gifting contributions on Amazon for a gift card to something else. When I said to the man "this makes no sense, why was this Massanutten gift card even an option then?" his response was "well, your guest got a pop-up box explicitly explaining the federal laws." I could be wrong but I think most times when we see a picture of a gift card and a title saying "Massanutten Gift Card" people think it is generally straight forward. Well, it's not.<br /><br />Now if it is the case that all of this was because I had the group gifting tab checked to on, then my question is: why would amazon even allow that to be an option on gift cards to other places?  Needless to say, the money my husband I and were going to use to take make step-son snow tubing is now sitting in my Amazon credit balance and I am unable to use it for Massanutten.<br /><br />I hope this helps someone else out there before they make the same mistake I did because let me tell you, customer service will not help you.
