This may be helpful if you are in Florida:

12A-1.089 | Florida Sales Tax Attorney

Misunderstanding could arise:

Taxes on streaming content are less common. Washington state, for instance, levies 52 cents in sales tax on a $7.99 monthly Netflix streaming subscription. Florida meanwhile, which does not have a sales tax on digital goods, imposes a roughly 54-cent state tax on the same Netflix subscription under its communications services tax.

...but I think Netflix would collect the tax when you redeem the card, not the retailer when you purchase it.
