I'm familiar with a story of an ecommerce site that offered a discount on digitally delivered gift cards to encourage holiday gifting. But they didn't think to prevent people from buying more gift cards with those gift cards.
- Normal_gaussian 6y agoNearly 20 years ago there was a large supermarket in the UK that had two 'points' offers on that intersected on bananas. Cue an enterprising few to buy all the bananas (with banana points), then quickly use all their points on other items. My school ended up with a heap of free bananas from a parent :D

- ux-app 6y agoSorry, i must be slow, what's the scam here? If I buy a $10 gift card with a $10 gift card, aren't we just swapping $10?
- gbrits 6y agoIt's the discount. E.g.: $10 buys you a $12 gift card .. buys you a $14.4 gift card... ad infinitum
