I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

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.

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.

Not trying to be snarky or a troll, but anyone doing MS and/or BGs needs to be prepared for shutdowns. Banks, CUs, credit cards, PayPal, Amazon, BBY, WM, Target, eBay, fintech companies, and so on. Its going to happen. You have to decide if its worth it. Dont use avenues that you (or a spouse) cares about.

Tried Buyformeretail, thedealbuyer, pointsmaker in the past year. Found BFMR is the best one. Quick response and payment. Even BFMR did not pay lost packages, but the ratio of missing/lost packages is very low. Thedealbuyer promised to provide refund for packages which were lost but signed by them. The payment may take up to 10 days or longer sometimes. They also asked many proofs for missing packages. The ratio of missing parts is higher than BFMR. Only sent coins and several laptops to pointsmaker and it works well.
