You're sorry you interpreted the request not to buy gift cards as more of a request then an order. Now if a review of your credit card purchases suggest about the only thing you bought at walmart is gift cards you may be wasting there time.

I don't think you're going to find much from people in your situation. People are happy to shop where they are wanted.



No hole in the story.
The OP chose not to share how many thousands of dollars of gift cards he purchased on a regular basis. People buy Fuji apples, chicken and water to eat and drink. People like the OP purchase gift cards as a way to generate significant amounts of credit card charges, which produce benefits. The actual gift cards might be sold or used to buy other git cards.

Gift cards are sometimes purchased with stolen credit cards then used or sold. Probably not worth the effort to separate illegal use with use which far exceeds the intent of gift cards.

The transaction was computer blocked at the self service check out. I doubt this was done on the store level.
