Gamestop says on their website "we don't accept any gift cards that aren't from gamestop itself." OK well then why did you allow the universal gift card company to have you on their gift card? Are you suing them for trademark infringement? No you are not. Gamestop is a liar, a fraud and they basically just took my sisters (and my) money and threw it away.
Instead of blindly attacking the company... understand WHY many others also go this route in not accepting outside gift cards...
The sole reason is fraud prevention.
I've seen sooo many gift card scams where people will go out and max out the card, then go to another location and continue doing the same, before the card processing occurs later in the day. There was a time people were buying $1k+ in items with a $100 pre-paid Visa gift card. Most of this has been stopped I believe, but i'm sure there are still temporary workarounds that others have figured out.
This is not a GME issue, please point your finger somewhere else.
