Was reading about how this happens with Costco all the time. How whenever people buy digital giftcards they are stolen & redeemed very quickly – and Costco can’t / won’t do anything about it.
I’d understand if it was a physical card, but how are digital cards stolen? From my understanding, Costco doesn’t even create the gc # until after the gc is purchased. How can thieves just predict what a giftcard number will be and also when it’ll be redeemed?

If they have access to your email, they can steal the information before you have a chance to use it.
That is the most likely way to steal a digital gift card.
