That sounds like bullshit. Don't know about cabelas but a lot of store gift cards you can check online yourself and see when the balance was loaded and any transactions. I have a hard time believing they themselves couldn't track any information about it despite a merger.

I've done that with Amazon gift cards.

Well at first I thought it was odd too, but I had two people tell me the same thing so I don't know? Pretty lame regardless.

Most likely explanation is the employee who sold it did it.

No, the most likely explanation is he used it and forgot.

Well, he's sure he didn't. So the next most likely explanation is the cashier had a nice present for themselves.

I'd get that if say, it had $3.50 or something left on it or the grey shit that protects the pin number was scratched off.

But I can't remember the last time I made a purchase at Cabelas that was over $100 and originally I was saving this card to put towards the purchase of a gunsafe.

I was just interested in how this card could have gotten scammed. Oh well, the world may never know.

Sounds like the employee didn't load the card correctly when it was purchased.

I've had that happen to me, the employee ringing up the card was having a hard time with it and finally gave me the card.

Well they did it wrong and i gifted a person a card with zero balance on it so I felt like a fool when the person told me that. Now i always keep the receipt and hand both the receipt and card with it.

More importantly I buy the card with a manager or assistant manager not some zit faced 18 year old kid who has only worked there a few days.
