It isn’t really a 30% cut because you can buy iTunes cards at pretty significant discounts, up to 25%, which comes out of that cut.

Can you actually get iTunes gift cards reliably for 25% off?

Even the dodgy ones on eBay seem to be 10% off max, and I'm fairly sure those are primarily used for money laundering and/or credit card fraud.

Yes, but like with any other purchase, you have to get it from a reputable retailer.

I usually load up at brick-and-mortar places on Black Friday weekend and then use them the rest of the year.
