I already posted that I tried purchasing them without SYW points --- even though I had points --- and failed.

Even before the switch, you could not buy them outright without redeeming points.
I'm referring to the post #242 by Phrostbyte and then you'd replied you wish you'd known about that method.

It sounded like one could purchase the "your choice" GC via TopCash back, then redeem that at SYW by purchasing the eVisa/MC GC and then loading them into the digital wallets (Apple/Google/Samsung). But I guess that might've been speculation that it could be doable that method. Although that references "...then order Vanilla GC from the Your Way gift cards, and liquidate them at Walmart. That's what I did for my Paypal 20%, but I didn't use the Citi Shop Your Way card to pay it off."
