I ordered a Lenovo laptop online at BestBuy.com where I was able to easily enter 10 gift card codes and a credit card number to complete my purchase. I expected the process to be difficult, but it turned out to be incredibly simple and fast. The website allowed me to keep adding gift cards to pay for the laptop, which I did because I they ranged in value from about $25 to $80 and the laptop cost was $550. My gift cards total was just $5 shy of the total bill, so I had to use my credit card for that small balance. That was easy.
They also offered choices of where to pick up my laptop or to have it shipped to me. I selected the pick up option nearest me and they gave me both email and phone text alerts when the laptop would be ready. I ordered the laptop late at night and picked it up the following morning while in between errands. Perfect!

I attempted to order a gift card for under $150, which I've done before on other gift card resale websites. The SaveYa website said that my account must be verified after I placed my order. I sent an email to inquire about this verification process, but all I got back was a terse response that my account had been blocked by their "compliance partner". No detailed explanation was given. I know with 100% certainty that I don't have any problems with my credit card, and I've used it since.
Now I'm worried that they have my credit card information and could use it at their will. I don't even know if SaveYa is a legitimate company or is involved in some kind of credit card fraud.
