This actually happened to me. I went to CVS in diamond bar to purchase some gift cards. The checker asked if she could open the cards, when she did 4 had been cut. Thankfully she checked!!!

Apparently she was aware of the scam.

Yep, this happened to one of our reps, he handed out $500 in gift cards and they were all no good. As they came back, he noticed there was a secondary bar code covering the one on the actual card.

I bought an iTunes card at Michael’s in November, it didn’t work, I contacted Apple, they said the full amount was used in August. I Have the receipt, card……….they refused to help me. I went back to Michael’s not really expecting anything but they refunded my $25!!

If they steal the card to "modify" it why bring it back at all ? Am I missing something ? gotta be an inside job ? EDIT boom I figured it out If I was a merchant I'd put "eyes" directly on those displays !

I believe the card gets loaded at purchase. so bring it back put back in the rack and wait for someone to purchase a card and load it. bam you can now use the number you cut off.

Another example of how cash is King.

Put a $50 in a Christmas card, done.

Off topic and could go in the ‘good pranks’ thread.

Larry’s cousin years ago gave his sisters $100 gift cards to Walmart. Walmart was a 45 minute drive for one sister and she later said it took her a while to fill her basket with $100 worth of stuff but didn’t want a balance on the card. Got to the register to find out he never had the cards activated ~ was just trying to be funny.
