I tried to enter gift cards created from another account into the checkout and it seems to work correctly. However, the gift cards were redeemed days ago when this new limitation/block was unknown, perhaps it only applies to gift cards that have been redeemed recently?
What region are you in?
the reason might be valid to you⌠but like i said. they do not need to tell us anything as it is stated in the rules when you go read them thats exactly what they say. they dont need to tell us anything at anytime and can freely do whatever they want⌠hope this helps you, thank you

Is there a link to any official announcement or policy regarding gift card transferability, or lack thereof? I sent a friend who is saving up for a printer 5 codes he can use. Just wondering if he will have to order through my account when he gets to that point. Iâm in the US.

i just had my friend try one of mine here in US and he confirmed it didnt work⌠so appears to be the case regardless of an announcement
Hopefully I can still just buy the printer for him from my account and let him set it up under his. I bought a printer for my nephew last Christmas on my account using gift card vouchers and he was able to create his own account and link it to that.

Yeah, that shouldnât be an issue. It doesnât link to the purchasing account by default.
I doubt that it is legal in all countries to have rules that allow them to change conditions as they like. Those gift cards are like real money. At least in the EU, I canât imagine that they can suddenly prohibit passing them to somebody else.

You have no property rights in points, and points can only be used as described here. Points have no cash, monetary, or other value, and cannot be redeemed in whole or in part for cash. Your points balance or any part of it is not transferable, cannot be divided as part of a settlement, legal proceeding or death, and cannot be combined with points of any other member in the program. Points may not be brokered, bartered, attached, pledged, gifted, or sold.

But that doesnât mention the transferability of gift cards. It is what it is, just wondering when the gift card rules changed.
you quote the terms, but I doubt those are legal in the EU. Maybe regarding points. But as soon as I have a gift card which equals a certain amount of money, I donât think it is legal to prohibit transferring it somebody else, at least in the EU.
But you are comparing a gift card bought with real money vs one exchanged from âinternet pointsâ.
They are nothing more than personalized coupon codes. If you get one from your favorite retailer because youâve been a loyal customer for years you wouldnât bat an eye if that code was non-transferable.

You might be right. I still doubt it, but it certainly is more of a feeling than a informed fact.
