With resellers and click-thrus, be aware of the all fine print.  Their percentages back and lifetime caps can change at any time!  It is best practice to not keep resold gift cards for too long, especially not past the guarantee offered by the selling site (previous owners are likely to still have the card info).  Get them when you are ready to use them.
