I had $280 in cashback and walked with $350 in Visa gift cards. That alone
was worth the transfer.
I have 18 months (until Nov, 2006) to use same so there is no rush to find a
vendor which may be troublesome.
My find is ye old 99c stores. They are accepted there and, as stated, there
are considered more a gift card not needing a PIN number. I keep the one card
I'm using separate with the receipts against it; For example, my first card
had a $12 and then a $10 purchase(s).
I then know that on the $50 starting balance, I now only have $28. If the
purchase exceed that, I probably have the overage on the ready in cash rather
than confuse the cashier by combining that with another card just activated.
My other area will be gasoline purchases and going into the building is no
big deal. All of us are trying to pare our points into merchandise we usually
buy with cash. This was a great opportunity to use our Coast account monies
with an extra 25%.
