Not a gift card but I redeemed my hardware kit discount code I got from bb handy app (email 1) on my other account from which I buy stuff from bbl shop (email 2, different from email 1) w/o any problems. I don’t think (at least for the hardware discount codes) the codes are bound to your account/email as it worked fine for me.
Points cannot be tranferred to another account.
Gift cards are another story. Each card has a code. Anyone who has that code can use it. One can give that code to another person as a gift. At least that’s my understanding.

Yes, that’s why there are so many bot accounts out there, each bot account only needs to earn one gift card, 100 of them will be $4000, such a good way to earn, why not?
Regardless of the bot account, some people have more than two accounts to increase the number of gift cards they can earn. If MW binds the gift card number to the account instead of using it with each other, it should be able to minimize the malicious use of the account.

Personally I gave 3 coupons to a close friend, I didn’t have any problem, just in case, now when I give something as a gift I ask him what he wants and order it from my account, I don’t want to be sanctioned.
Can several coupons be used to purchase one item? Or One coupon one transaction?
Yes it can, I know someone who bought an x1c-combo with 38 gift cards and didn’t encounter a block!

There is no limit on the number of gift cards that one account can have. Cheaters don’t need multiple accounts to store gift cards, per se.
But if you are talking about making it harder for cheaters to use the gift cards that they accumulated and scattered among the many accounts that they have, then yes, having the gift card codes tied to account can have an effect. It will take longer for each fake account to accumulate enough gift cards to make big purchases.
It will also make it harder to sell gift card codes, if there are such transcations taking place under the table.

idk cant you just give the card number to them to redeem? I have done it at least once in the past
Good, maybe they are cracking down on being able to transfer card between “friends”
yeah i guess some where scamming the system trying to cheat so they stopped card transfer wich sucks for the honnest users imo
There is no issue.
Simply give whomever the numbers. There is no “transfer” so to speak. They enter the number on the website and that’s it. If you’re having difficulties perhaps the number is for one locality and trying to use it in a different one.
Having given some to someone I know in the US (I’m in the U.K.) I can assure you it does work.
I redeemed the gift cards after swapping to the local store. I gave the gift card numbers to the friend and they have created an order that was accepted and shipped.
The “we screwed up royally here is the very least a of compensation we can give you” gate (constantly occurring gate if you prefer”, those ‘compensation’ gift cards are apparently locked to the purchasers account.
I imagine come January 4th when people can buy something and use the ‘compensation’ towards it in some very tiny portion, there will be issues when some may get locked out of redeeming one.
did you try it ? cuz ive tried it with 3 different friends when i just read your message here and it still doesnt work so idk whats happening here but i dont get it … i copy the card number and send it to them… doesnt work. when i check the status its still available and it works for me but not for them. ive tried recnt cards as well like new ones and old ones both never reddemed and both dont work on 3 different accounts from friends and family
when ? today or like a wekk or 2 ago… it used to work for me now doesnt
works for me not them

@MakerWorld any clarification on this?
Either different regions, extra space or number entered incorrectly.
He still hasn’t said (or I missed it) what region he redeemed the cards for and where the friend is, so could be that.
Could be copy & paste issue.
