So lately I've been using the Costco gift cards pretty regularly. The only issue is that it's 4 $50 gift cards, and each one has a 19 digit code plus a 4 digit pin, which staff have to enter in manually, one by one.

If you want to buy the most expensive package available, you need to have them ring up at least 3 separate gift cards which can be time consuming and also just annoying for staff to have to deal with.

But I've found the solution. You can actually use the gift card codes to generate working barcodes for staff to scan instantly. :)

Here are the instructions:

1. Visit https://orcascan.com/tools/free-barcode-generator/code-128 (there are other barcode generator sites but this one is simple and clean and to the point)

2. The barcode type should be 128, which should be automatically set when using that link

3. In the "Barcode content" enter in the 19 digit gift card number

4. In the "Barcode caption" I just paste in the same 19 digit number and also write in "Pin: 1234" (with the actual pin code there) just in case for some reason the barcode won't scan, the staff still have the entire number and pin right there.

5. Right click and save the generated barcode image or click the Download button

6. Put the image on your phone. Preferably make a separate folder for gift card codes just to make it simple.

Now when you go to D&B just walk up and open that barcode image and the staff can instantly scan your gift card. Saves SO much time if you're cashing in multiple gift cards in a visit. Enjoy!

I'm just looking for any type of way for a playstation gift card and/or a present for my gf, but literally have not a single cent to my name and can't get any for another 5-ish months, so I've turned to the internet, which was my first mistake of many. My naive ass thought some gift card generators were real untill it started asking to download a bunch of apps, which is a hard no.
