Apple had the Magic Keyboard for $199 on their Amazon store front but sells them for S299 on their Apple Store. I wasn't interested in the Magic Keyboard, but if I had been, I would have had to pay an extra $100 if I used the Gift Card to purchase it.

Is it really a"their"/Apple's store front on Amazon? Clicking on a few items, it says shipped from and sold by Amazon. Isn't the Apple Amazon store front just a collection of Apple products that Amazon sells, maybe with some kickbacks from Apple for advertising?
