that doesn't seem to be the case, because it says that it will first go to the giftcard, subtract the amount from it, and any remaining balance is removed from the credit card. I believe this is to make sure that people who use the gift card multiple times are able to use every cent on the gift card, and it will do so before going over to the visa.
Personally, I don't see this as a big deal per say in that I'll purchase a 25$ gift visa and use that as my rollover card. While I don't care for the extra charge for the gift visa's, it won't be as bad now that we can use the giftcards instead..
