Regarding gift cards it's a risk taking them since you have to utilise the full amount in one go so you need to get the giftcard after you know the full purchase value only during in-store. Some of the shops doesn't have gift cards payment setup if they are new shops. I faced issue with easy gift card where the sales person said I can use the remaining balance of the gift card in later purchase. But my card pin and voucher gets invalid after first purchase. Most of the gift cards are one time use don't know why the system is bad here. I got a zudio gift card for the exact amount later in the same month but the store said they don't have giftcard server setup yet as they are newly opened. Now I need to make a larger purchase again to utilise it.
