a Sears fail anecdote: Tried to buy a vacuum once with a printed out Sears gift card (card # only) and cashier refused, manager told me they should call loss prevention just for me trying to use that. Brought up Sears website on my phone, typed in the card #, and selected store pickup. Walked over to the pickup area and left with the vacuum.
