I always see these panera cards selling so cheap... is it really that easy to get them that people sell them for a fifth of their value or am i missing something here? either way, i will check back to see what others say and if its all good, i might take some too.
I think their card security is stupid week. Basically the card # is displayed openly on the back and every next card number is +8 (so take the card and add 8 to it).
So if you card # is 1111-1111-1111-1111 the next persons card # will be 111-1111-1111-1119 and these "vendors" just take the card #'s and sell them for people to load into their own GC apps like GYFT.
Fucking Hyatt does the same fucking thing apparently and people have NO clue how they are getting burned (lots think cashiers steal them and such... lol).
I played with the system and found over $2000 in cards within half an hour.
