I use Chrome, for what it’s worth, in a regular browser (not incognito) and I don’t create/log into a gift card mall website account (I.e. just load the page and register). I do always use the Check Transactions / Balance tool first, just to make sure there isn’t a fraud issue / the balance I expect is on the card, then I click the registration tab and register the address, then the pin tab and set my pin, and then click back to the Check Transactions tab and repeat with the next card, and use that same sequence each time.
That is exactly what I do. It fails on both FF and Chrome. I never set PIN because it is useless since the card can be used as Credit Card without any PIN required.
