Cake Pay is registered in St Kitts, for instance. But it doesn't matter. Playing the ignorant middle man can get you legal for the most part.

And I guarantee you that their source of cards is not directly from the retailer.

But whatever. If you don't want to believe me and just want to run with binders on for that sweet 30% off your Amazon purchase, that's your business.

None of those services offer discounts. So either they are getting the cards from reputable sources or they are making a nice markup by getting them from shady places
