Gift Cards - Omniscient - Aug 29, 2015
I'm removing the Gift Card restriction in the Disallowed Blackhat Activity help doc.
Old wording:
Quote:Virtual Credit Cards (VCC), Prepaid Credit Cards, Gift Cards and Virtual Bank Accounts (VBA)
We understand that there might be a valid purpose and use for these discussions, but we've decided to remove them from HF in an effort to stay on a more legitimate topic level.

I realize that Gift Cards are often a means of valid financial transactions between members. So I'm going to allow them. VCC and VBA are still very much disallowed but sellers are now free to accept Amazon Gift Cards as payment as an example. This should open up some additional Marketplace activity.
Please be aware that Gift Card trading and sales are still very high risk methods for being scammed. I advise severe caution in dealing with them.
Best of luck to everyone.

Does this include things such as Netflix/Hulu Plus codes you can redeem on accounts?

So I can take gift cards as a form of currency? That sounds nice. I will make users either send me a picture of the gift card, or some solid proof they own it.

EDIT: And Amazon gift cards?
Yes, those are gift codes. Would also include Microsoft Xbox codes now too.

This gets announced after my thread about this topic gets deleted and a 20% warning.
Still, good job on this.

About time. People got scammed for their AGC they got from ewhoring by going elsewhere.
HF can be safe if you're smart about it. Just look at rep and check for scam reports.
