Re: the amazon gift cards, wait a week or two. For some reason, sometimes they're out of stock, then will later come back into stock. It's still ridiculous, but in the past, the "out of stock" hasn't been permanent.
I never can understand how a amazon gift card can be "out of stock"! For crying out loud it is an ELECTRONIC TRANSFER, same as when paying for games here. It is not kept in boxes on shelves.
Pure BS scam to offer an incentive and then refuse to live up to the agreement.
Sure, but they buy them in bulk purchases at specific points in time to get them at some certain price points. If there is a 'run on them' then it makes sense that they 'run out' for a period of time until replenished. It is not a straight pass through where you get a $25 card and they pay $25 for it on demand. They may buy 1000 of them for $15 each per quarter, etc.
Same thing with shirts.. There are a certain number in stock, if they run out then they have to be replenished.
If they are not replenished in a reasonable amount of time.. and if Customer Service does not react to and explain the situation in a timely fashion, then that is a problem.
