Has anyone ever had a gift card balance stolen?
Earlier this afternoon I stopped by Cabelas to pick up some ammo with some gift cards that I had accumulated from Christmas' past. When I went to check out I gave the lady a gift card that was supposed to be 100 bucks.
It's been sitting in my wallet since I got it for Christmas two years ago. The lady swiped it several times and each time the balance of the card read $0. The pin # hadn't even been scratched off yet. I tried it again at customer service to no avail. I know for a fact I never used the thing. What happened to my $100? How the hell would someone even drain this thing without my knowledge? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

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.

Yeah. But I get gift cards through a processor. They helped me out. Not sure how it would work if you got it directly from the business though.

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

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. |

Does it have Cabela's logo on the card?
