My experience is it's the latter. I have had GC's loaded to my Lowes wallet, but then given the number and pin to my brother for one to use in store, where he was able to make a purchase. My wallet then reflected the reduced balance immediately after he used it.
Lowes wallet, does that convert the GC to an account balance, in effect draining the GC ? Or is it merely online storage of the GC number/pin, which could then still be subject to unauthorized use.

egifter, are they a legitimate seller? Is there a guarantee on the card value for a period of time? Anyone have issues with a card being drained (happened to me with Raise)?

All of the discount gift card deal sites scare me. I only buy if I have an upcoming project (within a week or so). These 10% off Lowe's come around so often it's not really necessary to stock up and hoard if you have no plans for using them soon.

I wouldnt buy these unless you are ready to use them or at least load them onto your Lowe's wallet on your Lowe's account.
I haven't had issues with them but I never held them for more that a few days.

I have the same question. Got a big purchase coming up, would take 10+ cards. I don't think you can use that many online at once.

No, it doesn't convert it/claim it. Anyone with the gift card numbers can still redeem/drain the gift card.

Interesting! I never tried to use it like that. I figured that it removed the card balance but it makes sense that it would still hold the balance on the original gift card number since when you load it onto lowes it still shows the truncated gift card number and that individual card balance and not as a total account balance.
So i guess in general for these gift card deals I would try to use them as soon as possible and not hold onto them long term.
If you want to turn these into gift cards you can hold long term you can make a online purchase with these discount gift cards to be shipped then cancel your order. This will wipe out the balance on the original gift cards and Lowes will snail mail you a new lowes gift card that you can hold as if you bought it from instore.
I've done it before but only for like $200.
