Yes. Had my accounts flagged after using giftcards from GameFlip. Amazon wont share much about what was wrong and why, but I'd guess someone bought one or more of the cards they sold me with a stolen CC. Or charged back the purchase after selling it to me. Either way, I stopped using gift cards for buying group purchases.

The other challenge is that if any issues arise with the seller or with the shipment, you have no recourse with GCs. With a CC theres various buyer protections.
