The story about the person having 365 cards to simulate having a birthday each day doesn't make sense, on two fronts. #1, birthday is assigned per account, not card, so that requires 365 accounts. Their terms of service forbids having more than one account (it changed sometime after 2010 per archive.org), so they can deny such misuse. #2, the birthday gift is a free item, so there is no need to artificially suppress the list price of that item. The entire item is free anyway, whether it is a $2 tall drip coffee or a $9 salad.
