Does anyone know if Apple Store has stopped email delivery of gift cards?

[iMore Question]

Does anyone know if Apple Store has stopped email delivery of gift cards? Bought an Apple Store Gift card 1st of August. Today the option was missing just for iTunes. Now even iTunes option for email delivery is gone

When I called 1-800-MY-APPLE today morning (13SEP), they were also not aware the email option was not available.
