This script automates the process of reloading Amazon gift card balances with configurable amounts and transactions per execution. This is useful to maximize credit and/or debit card rewards or to prevent the closure of a credit card account due to inactivity.

Dependencies

• Node.js
• Chrome or Firefox desktop browser installed

Getting Started

1. Clone or download the project
2. Copy config/default-example.json5 to config/default.json5 and modify it with your details
3. Execute npm install && npm run build && npm start

Features

• Allows you to use Chrome and Firefox
• Browser is visible to provide peace of mind as to what is happening
• Configurable/extensible

Docker

Includes a Docker configuration. To utilize:

1. Execute npm run docker:build && npm run docker:run
2. You then need to VNC into port 5900, open a shell, and execute npm start

Ideally we would start our app as soon as we run our Docker image, removing the need for step 2, but haven't yet been able to make it work - the desktop browsers error out when instantiated. Perhaps they're being instantiated before the desktop interface within the Docker container is ready?

TODO

• Add tests
• Try for a more attractive code approach to the code's many webdriver action calls
• Create a scheduler
