well.... it seems the answer really is not clear. purse.io is really attractive, but i wonder if these claims of law enforcement involvement in these cases are really true. seems a bit over the top. is buying a gift card at a discount really grounds for criminal proceedings? i agree with the person who said, there doesn't seem to be any proof of any wrongdoing there. Purse.io has a buyer purchase protection policy, they established it this year after law enforcement showed up at one of their buyer's house. Starting January 7th, when a spender purchases items from Purse, their purchases will be covered for any damages or costs resulting form the purchase up to $10,000 with our Purse Guarantee. This program will apply retroactively to any spenders who may report any damages related to Purse. ouch.... so that means that buying gift cards on Purse.io may result in police coming to my house. that doesn't seem ideal. do you have a link to this occurrence? even though i imagine it could be sorted out, this is the type of hassle i am trying to avoid.

Same for me, I like to buy giftcards maybe not Amazon but Starbucks for sure. You have to watch out for those that are illegally obtained and be sure to ask for a warranty return date. Once I PM someone who can sell $100 starbucks gift card for only $20 or less, when I heard it I was excited but later found out they are illegally obtained which means there's a huge chance they won't work, and there's only a 2 day warranty, so I didn't buy it. But not all cards sold on this forum are fraudulent, some must work.

But at the end buying from trusted member here isn't bad. (when we know the source)

I've sold some gift cards through localbitcoins and one seller had issues with two gift cards I purchased. They were legit and I had the receipts and everything but amazon.com locked their account after they redeemed them. I'm not sure why and they are too worried to contact Amazon themselves but I think the guy is in China so that might have set off some red flag.

In my opinion i will suggest not to buy amazon gift cards it may lose you. But someone though had got trusted gift cards and purchased on amazon.

From where you are buying AGCs. If the website has reliable escrow system, you should use that. escrow can check the balance of amazon gift card without redeeming it. It is done by contacting costumer service. You pay your BTC to escrow he verifies the card and transactions are completed.
Other wise don't buy AGCs from any seller you can't trust.

That's pretty solid advice, buying gift cards will get you in trouble otherwise.

You can buy legitimate gift cards from gyft.com with bitcoin. You unfortunately won't get a discount though.

If you cannot trust the seller, don't buy them. These cards can come from everywhere. My friend has dealt twice with these cards which were stolen and after second time, he got his account frozen/limited.

i've always been hesitant to buy Amazon gift cards at a discount, because i don't know what happens if you spend the money and the gift cards come up fraudulent after the fact. anyone know? i'm tempted by the discounts. I don't know. This is a fear of mine as well. Even purse.io it seems could not figure that problem out. A week ago they announced they would no longer allow people to buy Amazon gift cards for people at a discount. Those were one of the best items because they sell at face value. They must have had a lot of scams too.

You have to make sure that the one selling your amazon cards is trustworthy enough.
Usually if it seems too good to be true, then it is.
