Gift cards aren't anonymous once you buy them with a card.
The purchase creates a transaction linking your identity to that card number. If the gift card is later used somewhere, the chain connects you to that purchase. Even cash-bought cards get registered to real identities when people activate them online.
Cash-purchased gift cards lose their anonymity the moment they're activated with an email or phone number.
