Which makes his statement rather funny.

Why are you assuming I don't know how to use them?
The very fact that you wrote if you've taken the time to learn to use them. shows that they are not straightforward for first-time users.
Don't go assuming things because it makes an a$$ out of you and me.

BTW, I forgot where I saw it, but I believe I saw some information online that indicated that Incomm has already gotten into legal hot water with a few states [likely over some other thing(s), as protecting one from one's gift cards funds is a relatively recent game they are playing].

I tried using it on Paypal to send money someone's Paypal.me account, and that was a big no-no.
What you should do is call the number on the back of the gc.
They usually will send you a new one.
They will require you to provide a photo of the gc (back and front) and a photo of the receipt showing the gc purchase.
But they may require more.
Good luck.

I just had a eVISA locked by BHN purchased on GiftCards.com

BHN thread is here: Ongoing MS Gebit BHN breakdown
I answered the question.
The original question was what to do if a gc gets locked

I have some Pathward SS Visas what a bunch of garbage. First, I was using them in person at the grocery store. I had several with <$50 and the store auto drains so I was getting rid of 3 and then paying the final with a new $500. Every swipe after the 2nd locked the proceeding cards. I call and have to get 3 new cards in the mail which takes like 14 days to show up. I go to use the $500 to prepay my gas/electric bill and the replacement card gets locked immediately. I call again and now they'll "expedite" a replacement which I should receive in 3-5 business days. It's becoming harder and harder to even use these things legitimately.

3x with $10 and 1x with > $450 at grocery store .
Swiped the 3x with $10 fine, but the final swipe with the 4th card got locked. That 4th card had been used in-person elsewhere.
They're sending me a replacement for the 4th card by USPS.
So bizarre why they would lock when used legitimately.
I don't understand how the proceeding VGC can be locked once money has been drained.
