Don't Bother Taking A Chance.
These gift cards were sent out to people for Christmas and they all had a $0 balance.  Amazon sells these through Amazon Payments, Inc.  Why this product page is up is beyond me.<br /><br />Get a gift card elsewhere.  There's no point in chancing it when whether the cards work appears to be 50/50, as last year they worked fine.<br /><br />On the plus side, Amazon issued a refund, with the option of Amazon store credit or my original payment method.  That's going to take 3-5 days, not counting how long my credit card companies may take to clear them.<br /><br />I will never buy these again.<br /><br />UPDATE:  Apparently the Amazon rep lied and never processed the refund.  I contacted Customer Service again, and they began insinuating that the recipients of the cards had used them.  ALL THEY COULD DO WAS ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE THEM AND THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD $0 BALANCES.  They're elderly and have no need or desire to try and rip anyone off.<br /><br />Then they told me that they were going to give me a one-time "exception" on them and refund them.  Sorry, what?  You sell bad cards, lie about refunding them the first time, then tell me that you're giving me an "exception" on a second attempt for a refund?<br /><br />Also, the representative I talked to this time confirmed that they can see the previous conversations you had with other representatives, so keep that in mind next time you think you're getting the runaround and reps are lying to you.<br /><br />Seriously.  Don't buy these.  What a scumbag experience.
