I bought them and they do work but what are we suppose to do with them? They can't be legit to use. You can only use them online/phone as he sends you a text file with all the codes, so there are no barcodes to scan if used at the store. What's the safe way to use these?
Download the "GYFT" app or KEYRING app to your smartphone and put them in that. They create a "portable" gift card with a scanable barcode. Then put on a disguise with fake eyebrows and fake mustache and try and find something for $25 in a Brookstone store that's actually worth $25.
