Re: Saks - I thought they closed the gift card loophole? That's what I used to do (buy physical GC in store, then use it at Off Saks)...but the past two times I've just bought some Clarins stuff or whatever instead. Stupid AF amenity kits got me hooked to their stuff.

Last time I bought a gift card was New Years day 2020 and credit posted. I haven't seen any data points of it not working in the saks thread.
You have to buy the gift card at an actual saks, not an off-fifth but the gift cards will work at off fifth. That's why I want the gift cards, to use them at off fifth.
