    The best way around this, unfortunately, is to go all-in with your giftcard immediately. That way there's no balance for them to track and take away from you. Sorry that this happened to you btw.

    @B-Bob all the best to your wife and fam as you all face this battle. Here’s to a full and speedy recovery.

    I buy the pre-paid Amex gift cards they can use without worry. I prefer the personal touch of buying a gift specifically tailored to the recipient but so many of the youngsters in the fam want gift cards.

    We'll keep you and your family in our thoughts, as well.

    Who would have thought that out of the four dudes on this show, Dale would become the new normal for rednecks?
