It shouldn’t be like that! 🤦‍♀️

There is such a thing. When I wrote up the procedure for the wiki, I was taking notes on the steps the FDA was following in her manual (even though she wouldn’t let me take a screenshot).

Happy says she’s seen a couple of instances where the FDA was able to scan a physical gift card but I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen lots of agents try, but always without success.
