Oh I see but still -and maybe I'm missing something but- how does this make sense?

They apparently would get the money back, and were told to destroy the gift cards so they donated 70 to us, 70 to the Sheriff's Department and 60 to the Police Department.
regardless of who spent it - isn't the civilian store missing $15K?

No, they got their credit back for the "merchandise" because it was an error from the factory that makes the cards.

I'm still confused. How can the store get credit for $15K and then give you the $15K to hand out? Wasn't the store told to destroy the cards b/c the value of those cards + the credit the store got from the card factory = $30K?

No. Here's why: the gift cards have no set amount to them, they're the ones you have to load when you buy them. They were shipped a batch which had already been pre-loaded & activated, but the store did not purchase the cards with the $100 on them, they were purchased at cost for whatever cost would be on the cards (significantly less). So the store reported this to the company who provides the cards, who told the store that they couldn't be inactivated and so the company who made the cards is out the money, not the store. The company who made the cards told the store to destroy them in "any appropriate manner". So the store choose to donate them.

Okay, thanks. That explains some of it but I'm having a really hard time wrapping my mind around the economics of the whole transaction. Either way it sounds like the gift card industry is one that I want to get involved in - it must be easy money if they can just write off that much.

I would assume they'd have some sort of insurance or otherwise for occurrences like this. It's probably not something that happens every day, but it probably does happen every now and again.
