I would never accept payment from anybody in gift cards even if I frequented the store. I would assume it's a scam.

On the other hand, it's trivially true that the store which "issues" (caveat explained in the article, they don't actually issue anything themselves) a gift card will accept it as a valid form of payment.

It sounds like the way the parent front is phrased fits that. If they're only willing to pay in gift cards, that's a requirement, so it's likely a scam. If they're also willing to pay in cash, then you can probably just take the cash and be fine?
