But, beyond that, you could return the gift card or toss it. Using it would be theft.
No, it wouldn't. U.S. mail order regulations state that a person is entitled to keep any item mistakenly shipped to him/her.
Theft is taking something from a party without their knowledge or consent. If the party sends you something, however - even mistakenly - it is not theft.
