I messed around with the VPN idea and I think that’s probably what’s going on here. I ran into a roadblock of the Facebook login validation and couldn’t get past it. This required the VPN via TunnelBear or similar and updating my App Store country. It wouldn’t allow my US CC to be connected to an India App Store so that’s probably where the gift cards come in.

Even then, I’d have to know/find the cheap region and or compare Rupee prices to dollars and figure out what kind of deal it is. Too much work for 99% of people. Hence why these guys can go through the trouble and make some margin off it.
