I buy gift cards from anyone who wants to sell them at a discount for cash. I usually give them %60 of the face value, sometimes less, but I was wondering if there was a going rate….
Puzzle dude- You make a good point.

I use my descretion when offered a $50 gift card for steer poop; of course if the price was right…I have a garden. I mainly stick to the sears, target, and bookstores just to be safe.

Has anyone done this? Since you can use your credit card for funds to your account, can’t you use a Visa Gift Card because it is supposed to be just like a credit card?
