Buying iPhone with gift cards.

I'm thinking of buying the new iPhone 18 Pro with gift cards, but I've never used this method before, so I want to know if it works properly and if there won't be any problems, because I don't want to spend so much money only to be denied the gift card later. I need answers, thanks!

If you have enough money to buy enough gift cards to buy a phone, then why not just buy the phone with your money?

Because I don’t have a card and there’s no Apple Store close by to use cash.
