You say 'getting greedy', and I say 'getting out of competition with credit/debit card thieves who can offer Amazon purchases for almost any discount and still profit with near-zero expenses'...

Let's call the whole thing off!

Do you know that for sure?

Do you know how purse can offer 20%? Are they stealing cards?

Theories:

Purse itself as opposed to its sellers, is buying cards from Amazon at wholesale discount. See all those cards in retail stores, and the codes that Gyft Coinstars spit out? There's no added fee for buying them, which means they have to be getting them at a discount to be making a profit/enough for operating expenses.

Amazon Associates referral fees might be involved too.

No, listen the this interview and it explains how purse gets their Amazon GCs. https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-bitcoin-game-24-exploring-purse-with-andrew-lee It sounds like using the wishlist feature from Amazon at purse provides a reasonable level of privacy.

Edit: For OP, you can request up to 35% off and wait to see if anyone fulfills it.
