Duplicate orders caused confusion this year
I purchase Amazon Gift cards every year during Christmas and they always arrive promptly and attractively packaged.  This year, however, something happened and I received two boxes of gift cards on the same day, duplicate orders.  I assumed that there was a processing glitch at Amazon and that only one of the orders of cards was valid.  I received no communication from Amazon conveying which order was the good order, and couldn't determine which was the good order without activating the cards myself (and this wouldn't work, as they aren't transferable after activation).  So I took a chance and gave out a set from one of the boxes and held onto the other set just in case.  As my luck would have it, when my nephews and nieces tried to use the cards, they didn't work.  The gift cards I gave out were the invalid ones.  Fortunately, my nephews and nieces are good kids and they knew I would make it right.  So, through the help of my sister-in-law and a lot of time texting, we got the good card information to the kids.  Even though it all worked out in the wash, Amazon certainly could have made it a lot easier with one little email.  I'll definitely have to reassess my gift card purchases next year.
