Apparently JCPenney often has issues with gift cards not purchased through them directly.
JCPenney at first claimed that the card had no balance on it. Then after the cashier called corporate, they saw that the charge went through, but the system didn't recognize it as a payment. Apparently this is a common issue when a gift card of their's is purchased through a third party. The issue took 45 minutes to resolve while standing at checkout. Beware, if you're going to get a JCPenney gift card, just get it directly through the store.<br /><br />Not Amazon's fault, but given the experience, I couldn't rate as five stars.
Rating: 4 stars
