ARRRRRRGH!

So I have two gift cards to Barnes & Noble; both of them have PINs for 
use online.  A couple of friends recommend a book, so, due to needing to 
spend these cards for a while and the library not having any on shelf 
copies (Now /their /online catalog software is nice.  It actually works, 
but that's not hate), I decided I'd order it so I could read it when it 
came in a day or two.  Nice, no hassle for me... or so I thought.

Clicky clicky here, clicky clicky there, and I'm entering my PIN and 
card # for B&N's ordering system.  There's no place to enter the info 
for more than one card, and an ominous note seems to indicate that I 
can't use more than one.  Needless to say, I hope that maybe I can add 
the second card later.  No such luck.  If I go to the physical store, I 
know I can use both cards for one purchase, but online, I can't; the 
stupid software can't or won't let me.  aksadjfp;2h3t;oiasj;fk!

(And I don't care if it's their policy or whatever; as far as I'm 
concerned, the cards and their (stated) worth is mine to use how I want. 
  The software isn't letting me, so I hate it, and whoever created it.)
