This is most likely for verification of who you are.Although you are using a gift card, that card could have been brought on a stolen credit card, or you could get an item at a different address, and then tell them you never got it, that it was not you, and that someone must have used your gift card fraudulantly or used your credit card to buy the card fraudulantly.Some credit card companies will create a virtual credit card number for you which has a set value to it. Try using that if it bothers you that much.
