Researches are asked to provide a comprehensive oredered list of
popular stores/shops that have gift cards for sale online which can be
given as a gift to someone and person having the ability to use them
in the store.

* Must have a Gift Card orderable online (residencial or business,
either)
* Must be a large/popular chain/shop/store
* Common Sense: Can be given as a gift 

Shops must relate to EITHER the following: 
- Electronics & Computers (Best Buy, Circuit City)
- Shoes and Clothing (Banana Republic & Gap)
- Malls (Macy's)
- Books (Barnes and Nobles)
- Variety Shops (KMart, Wal-Mart)
- Can be Brand Shops (JCrew, Timberland)
- Any shops relating of value that you yourself wouldnt mind giving a
business gift from.

Shops must NOT relate to any of the following:
- Not known shops (Bill's Locksmith)
- FoodChain/Bathroom/Kitchen/Baby/Perfume/Sunwear/FineWear/Plants/Party
& related supplies
- Of no particular value to general public (Mendelson Candies, Land of
Antiques, etc) Use common sense.

Here is the example format :

1) CompUSA - Electronics and Computer Supplies
   Link : https://www.compusa.com/giftcard.asp
   * Amounts of $10+, Business Orders OK'ed, Balance Check but No
Online Account.

2) Walmart - Variety of Products
   Link: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=96894&path=0%3A3891%3A96894
   * Amounts of $10-200, Online & Offline, Corporate Sales OK'ed,
Balance Check


Requested is approximately a list of 60 shops. But here's what can be
easier for you. If the shops are very popular and well known (like
CompUSA, Wal-Mart, Macys) then a list of 40 or so is enough.
Otherwise, if the shops are limited (like JCrew and Gap, each offering
only a single line of products (clothes)) then please provide a list
of 60. I'd rather have a smaller list but of better shops than have a
100+ list of shops that my employees would not be able to appreciate.

Thank you very much. Good Effort always results in a good tip. Time
isnt cruicial though, take your time to do the researh. Quality is in
question. Good Luck and Thank you for your
help.

I hope this helps.

Great job! I see you have put some effort into this. Thank you for
taking care of this. Its the second time you have helped me out! I'd
recommend anyone to have you as their researcher.

Thank you very much for the tip and kinds words.

"...kind words." 
Sorry about that.

Can anybody find Walmart gift cards on sale for a 20% discount?  For
example I buy a $100 gift card for only $80..   I am looking for
Walmart only, but if you have other stores I wouldn't mind knowing.

Thank you for your time!
