Asked before and all we got was crickets.
I imagine their excuse would be that the gift cards are a third-party thing and they have no direct link to their usage, thus the status button.
Except, they get that information during the sale as they send endless emails sharing the usage information. They could simply update their own copy of the card data at that point.
At least that is what I would have done if I made the system.
The chrome plug-in is a third party offering, as good as it is, BL have a history of changing things to break them. The various points plug-ins constantly suffer from this. The plug-in also caches the info to the local browser.
Something built in would be far better.
