After reading this I bought a gift card to clear APay balance of a different account with a purchase. Payment went through fine but it kept saying Awaiting Approval.
After a few minutes the account holder got a call from UK or somewhere asking if they purchased a gift card and if a Russian card was used for the purchase. I told him no, but he still kept mumbling so I told him it was just a HDFC card.
He said there might be some mistake and then the order got approved.
