Gift cards work if they are the kind that can be registered after purchase, been doing it off and on for a while. I have recently been hacked for the 4th time and currently in dispute over charges. Since I shopped at three 3D sites I can not say where the breech was for sure so will decline to finger point. On the matter of Rendo notifacation I can say it needs improvement but I have recieved 1 letter "postal" advicing me after the fact. As to continued shopping: I do not plan to let some low life bottom feeders chase me off. There is too much good stuff here. PERIOD In my case better care and disipline must prevail.
