Steve,
I personally wouldn't do it. I have, on the other hand, bought discounted iTunes cards via bestbuy.com and other retailers. The last one was $85 for a $100 card or something along those lines. Not a hefty discount by any means but a savings is a savings.
That said, if you purchase an item from the store using gift cards, the item may lose its eligibility for "double the manufacturer's warranty for up to a one year" protection. Not an issue if you're buying Applecare for a new or refurb machine, though.
