Gift Cards are meant for prospective TC members, not for SFI affiliates, a difference I did not understand at first myself. So Gift Cards are distributed to people that you want to interest in the online store, whether as an ECA or just as a shopper.
I actually read about someone who gave a prospect a Gift Card and then the prospect signed up as an affiliate, meaning he could not use the Gift Card, and then opted out because he thought it was all a scam. Hopefully the person managed to get him back, for instance by offering him a Gift Certificate instead. These are meant for affiliates.
So if you want to interest people in becoming affiliates it is actually better to get them signed up and then give them Gift Certificates or some TCredits. As the Gift Card is 6 TCredits and you can give an affiliate up to 10 TCredits this is even a better reward. However I would not suggest offering rewards to new affiliates until they are starting to get active, unless it is for instance a friend, colleague or family member that you feel sure will get a kickstart by starting with a reward.
If you want both to have your cake and eat it, ergo both TC and SFI, it is probably better to obtain the contact info of the prospect, send them your Gift Card, wait until they have redeemed it or it has expired, and THEN contact them about SFI and its possibilities.
Hope this helps.
