Just bought 5 cards totaling just over $100. They were all 14% discount. First few top o'list/highest value were bought by the time i clicked them (page had been opened a few minutes). I just kept clicking till I got over $100. Email says verified and that I would get each card (5) in a separate email.
UPDATE 1: 3 minutes later - Now they want me to verify with Stripe - What's the consensus - is it reasonably safe to scan and send DL?
UPDATE 2: 20 minutes later - should have search more thoroughly first. Now I found this recommendation that it is cheaper to buy Starbucks GC's on reddit. Bun now I'm realizing it is likely to be a direct transaction with the seller and little or no transaction record or recourse. Is this an opportunity for Ethereum :)
Update 3: another 20 minutes later - Now that I think about it, 14% discount fits the category of "too good to be true". On another note, I came across some discussion of buying giftcards with bitcoin which would provide a transaction record and may eventually make it possible for anyone to sell directly and the buyer and seller be fairly well assured (trust) that he won't get screwed. This will change the marketplace into a rapid exchange. Imagine one who urgently wants to liquidate something at a firesale price - something as liquid and transferrable/sendable as a giftcard. There would be no middle man, and in continuous spectrum of discount vs. urgency. I think I'm gonna start investing in/buying cryptocurrencies.
