Warning: Last I heard Gamestop was going to stop customers from using GS Giftcards to purchase digital currency like Xbox Live GCs, Steam GCs, Roblox, etc.
I dropped GS's Pro membership when they stopped allowing customers to redeem the monthly rewards on game currency, so it was announced, but I have not tracked if they implemented it.
If you're planning on using the GS GC on something like a video game, Funko Pop, etc, I think you're fine, but if not (or you plan on giving as a gift) make sure you investigate that before purchasing.

Same with BestBuy. I used to buy tens of thousands worth of BB GCs before they undervalued their GCs
I just want to add my experience and dispel some of what I read. I bought 5x $100 Wayfair GCs for a big purchase just a few days ago. I had absolutely no issue with the ordering process, my gift cards arrived practically instantly, and every one of them was valid when added to my Wayfair purchase. So maybe it's hit or miss, but I just wanted to toss in my absolutely perfect experience.
I tried buying these using so many different payment methods and all my orders were declined. What a waste.
I decided to go to Raise and noticed the $500 cards are 6% off and if you sign up for marketing they give you an extra 3% off, which makes these almost at parity with this deal.
Wanted to post this in case others run into this issue.
