This is what happens when a centralized monopoly decides to completely dominate the market by forcing people who earn these cards in various ways to only use them on the Amazon site. I personally have gotten Amazon cards from family, bosses, and sometimes as pay for jobs I have done for people... and now I will most likely be forced to use these cards on Amazon as opposed to being able to trade for something I love... like crypto!
Sites like Paxful and various other gift card exchanges (including reddit's which is my favorite) will eventually struggle with these precautions set as they thrive off taxing users who trade on their site. Honestly, I don't need 'things' so much anymore, I sometimes want to trade gift cards for fiat to make the task I did worth my while. I just thought I'd comment as this is just kind of lame, and will definitely change a lot of exchanges that exist worldwide, and it will change the complexion of how Amazon works as a whole.
