Unless the gift card explicitly states that you have to book via telephone sales, I guess the same tactics can be used when using a gift card as a (partial) payment...
Did the same with a denied voucher, called internetsupport and asked how to use it. They did not want my voucher number. You pay as usual the full amount via internet, but there will not be taken anything from your creditcard before the day of issuing the ticket, for me I think it was 7 days after I made the reservation. Then I had the options to mail the vouchers or go to the airport ticket office. I did still fly on e-ticket to BKK. I went to the airport in CPH because it is very close to my home, and did not wanted the voucher to "dissapear". On my reciept my voucher was called cash payment. Quite easy, why should it not be possible with giftcards too.
