I used to buy these Lowe's gift cards online - forgot the site but it's similar. For several months had no problems and I thought I found a cheat code to shopping at Lowe's.
But then one of these cards ($300 I think) was declined at Lowe's. When I contacted the gift card site they said the card was purchased with a fraudulent credit card so tough luck. The gift card site didn't cover it even though they purchased the card so I ended up eating $300.
The one star reviews are numerous and quite negative. I might wait until the next one. It's not hard to find similar deals, especially this time of year.
What's the deal with it asking for your phone number to text you a code... Seems sketchy.
Right? They're emailing me the gc, I'm paying with paypal, so wtf does some site I've never dealt with need my cel number for, and how is that making the transaction more secure? Not bothering. Obviously they're selling this info.

You think it's a scam? I purchased a 25 dollar one and just used it an Lowes.

I think they are simply doing their due diligence, trying to protect themselves and the owner of the paypal account.

Never again.
Best cheat code I've found is the coupons on eBay for $$ or % off. Typically only a few dollars and they arrive in email instantly. Have always worked and always saved me at least 3-5x what I pay for coupon sometimes more
