Steal them copy the info on a magstripe reader write info to new card then put cards back in store and wait for someone to purchase them.

Often stores that have their own gift cards will have balance check function as a website feature on their site that one can manually check with the card data grabbed when in tinkering phases and once you find a place with gift card balance check that seems to be without any rate limiting you can automate it to save time processing lots of cards one slurrped up prior and have it ping you when one of those cards data returns with a request that you know from tinker phase means the card is loaded up and primed to use asap.

Is it not much easy to just buy them with couterfit money ?

I wanted an answer/this thread for other people, I just saw someone doing it on a livestream and was curious and no one was discussing here. Counterfeit money is pretty bad it gets secret service involved in America at least.

You realy think you'll get secret service on your ass for buying gifdcard with counterfits. Doesnt sound logic to me.
