There's another thread where they mentioned a gift card-related shop going on in California. I suspect once that winds down they will bring back the usual shops for the rest of us. Why California? It's a state that requires a cash refund on request if a gift card has less than $10 on it. So they have you purchase a $15 e-gift card, make a purchase, and see if you can get cash back on the balance.
