I bought a few hundred dollars worth of Nordstrom gift cards on GiftcardZen.com.
Nordstrom cancelled my order that I placed with these gift cards, saying that the cards have fraudulent activity on them, and that their invalid.
I bought the gc's using prepaid visa style anywhere gift cards that I mistakenly bought in office max.
What is the next best step to go forward from here ?

Yup. They were nice enough to refund me. Thought it would be harder to get them to agree. Thanks for the help.

I had similar incident with cardcash I was really nervous bc it was months after I used the Gc and the retailer called me to say I owed them $500+ . I called cardcash assuming they would give me issues and I would have to dispute, but in the end they just refunded me the amount immediately

Never recovered them. $ lost, but lesson learned. Everything happens from up above for a reason
