This is from the guy who said in the NVG theoretical superuser thread that I wouldn't take advantage of other players if there was a screw up and I could see all their hole cards.


Keep the gift card. For some reason when it's some big profitable company I have a double standard on my morals.

Not sure why you're asking us. This seems like a PERSONAL morality question that only you can answer. Do whatever you think is right.

I'm normally pretty honest, but I don't think I'd hesitate to use the card in your situation. The guy that said keeping it is felony theft is full of it. The worst I could see happening is getting a bill for the $300, and I think that is pretty unlikely.

Seriously...if you contact them and tell them of the mistake they are going to tell you to keep it. Do the right thing and tell them and you get to spend it anyway.

there is maybe a 2% chance of this happening.


"Hey, you guys sent me this card for $300 I didn't deserve"

"Can you read me the serial number"

"934809Lkj-3240dj"

"thanks, the card has been deactivated. we appreciate your honesty in this matter and will be sending you a 10% off coupon as a thank you."

<click>




This isn't some company shipping an extra battery with a camera, for $300, they'll do something.

it's okay to steal from faceless corporations. It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.

i'd keep it but it doesn't really make any sense on the grand scale of my morals.

if it was actual products amounting to $300 somehow i'd feel way worse.

i once ordered $60 of books from amazon, they didn't show up for a couple of weeks. i asked them to resend, then i end up with two lots. i didn't return them out of laziness and felt awful for ages
