Twitch Wallet Needs to be directly Fundable
Currently, the Twitch Wallet contains a gift card balance and a link to a payment method. Making purchases via the gift card balance is great! But buying gift cards has become too hard because gift card fraud is so prevalent (today's attempt took literally 12 hours to sort out and unfreeze accounts that locked as a result).
Please, we need a way to load our gift card using the stored payment method.

This is especially important for direct subs. When you're doing community subs (random) you can just batch them into 10-100/whatever.
When you're doing joke subs and/or choosing people, you can't batch them up at all, so they all turn into separate charges. That makes it likely to flag YOUR credit card processors to look like fraud/repeated transactions so it slows you down, stops the fun, etc...

This was such a problem. TRYING to fill my gift card balance caused Amazon to delete multiple orders and they NEVER figured it out. Eventually I could get it unlocked.
Also when I gift many subs in rapid succession often the credit card companies (really YOUR PROCESSOR since it doesn't actually GO to paypal/my credit card) start denying charges.
Let me charge DIRECTLY to fill my balance, that way you don't need to go to my actual paypal/credit card as often.
