Can someone help me out with a gift card problem I'm having? Pending transaction for days order not shipped = ???

A comrade from here bought me a gift card through vanilla gift and so far on an amazon order the thing hasn't budged from pending to confirmed or shipped or w/e. I also tried using it on another site and it got flat out denied. I don't want that comrade to be out money and I was really hoping to use this card to get some stuff I needed.

Okay reading on
it seems like this company, vanilla is not that legit, I'm going to contact the comrade who gifted me and let them know.

Vanilla just sucks. They take forever to clear pending transactions. I think they want you to be frustrated and forget about the card.
IIRC there's nothing customer service can do about it, but my experience is 10+ years old, so maybe it's changed.

  Shit, okay
  I contacted amazon help and they said it's stuck in fulfillment so idk if that's on the card or what.
