If you do have a receipt / proof of purchase for the gift card for let's say $100 and go back to the shop where you bought it from then could you get a refund? If the person says no then say I'll have this item then. If they still say no you can't then raise your voice, play stupid and ask why until heads turn in the shop. Could get interesting.
I did that once in a St George Bank Branch after a CC fraud that wasn't getting resolved for months. Walked rudely in front of the line in peak hour and started talking loudly. It went a bit pear shape with the teller who called the manager. Within 10min some bulky guys came around. The word police was mentioned. I said great call them. Let's all have a talk about it. I was escorted in the manager's office and miraculously the money was recredited on the spot by him from a terminal on the table right here and there.
Bad publicity usually works. Just got to pick the time and place. In any case the loudest mouth gets the money back, remember that.
