You bring up good points about privacy and regulatory difficulties.

I just don’t know why you focused on the monetary total earlier. You’re already spending thousands of man hours of your own engineers’ time to interview them - the gift card cost is not that consequential in comparison.

I wasn't clear, it's not the money. The gift card suggestion was basically a way to pay 'under the table', which doesn't scale.
