Just a FYI - you can only use 3 non-credit/debit card forms of payment per booking. Those can be gift cards, luv vouchers, or previous flight credits.

A heads up in case you were going to try to book a $500 ticket with $100 gift cards. In this case you can apply three gift cards but will still need to pay the last $200 with your credit/debit card.

Another choice on some tickets might be to book the outbound and return portions separately.
