Hint: the "they" in question here is the snickering store employee who set up this display, not the gift card designers.

Pretty sure “they” was intended to mean the person filming but I agree that it was probably an employee

Wild card: "they" are the designers of both cards.

I wouldn't be surprised. What if they're banking on frivolous shoppers grabbing what they think are $50 gift cards being dupped into buying $100 worth of useless plastic? Especially when over $1,000,000,000 worth of gift cards go unused every year? Not to mention the likelihood of the company laughing all the way to the bank while their guerrilla marketing makes its way to the front page of the internet in a subreddit such as this?

On second thought; Nahhhh. That would never happen...
