Topic Wiki

Ill spell it out for the feeble.
You dont call up and ask if they take Visa gift cards for  a money order.
You dont call up and ask if they take Mastercard gc for a MO
You dont flippin call!


You go into a store and ask for an MO and she says ok its, XXX.XX say no p, take out your debit card and swipe. If the rep says no debits then apologize and leave. If she says lemme see that is that a gc say NO ITS A DEBIT. if she asks wheres your name you say (among many other options to think of) the permanent one is on the way and im using the temp one until i receive it. If you need to swipe more than once, its ok to have multiple debits (for those who are lacking in common sense). But be nonchalant dont be in your face about it to the rep. Reps want to feel they're in charge, its natural for a minimum paid employees...




I think this should give the basics on how to get a MO if you find a place.... this is not rocket science. But it seems like it is to some.... Where to cash out GCs for MO:

Where                                       Which gift card                                   Fee                                     max MO amount                                   

Service desk @ Wal-Mart                  MVD,  Visa from Meta bank,                                  70 cents                                           $1000
                                                  chase (phased out)                                                                                      $1000   
                                                     
Rite Aid                                                                                                 $0.89                                          $500
       
"HaNesher HaGadol"                            One Vanilla                                 .52                                          $500 max     
meijer-69 cents up to $1000-most stores
NOTES:
MVD charges 50 cents per transaction so ask for MO of card amount- (fee+ 50 cents) eg @WM ask for 498.80 on MO (or cover $1.20 some other way)

Was never into adding the 100’s of AUs and doing the smaller offers on a ongoing basis. The occasional Sams club, AT&T etc. was worthwhile, and SBS was great in its heyday, but the others are a pain compared to other avenues. To each their own; some like to make 40k a year renting out their credit to au’s but that doesn’t speak to me...
Renting their credit out?

No. Seems you are basing it on money made?

Presumably he's referring to adding AUs to old clean accounts.

Yes, comparison of what people may call income.

Income opportunity vs hassle or in the case of AU, risk. Have to admit that I’m not really in the AO business so maybe I’m grossly underestimating the potential vs hassle. I know with the SC offer last year I knew a few guys that made in the six digits profit, but I assume those amounts were a one time deal and aren’t achievable on an ongoing basis.

bought close to 12k of visa gift cards from metabank called up and submitted  a refund request for 58 gift cards after they requested receipts took pictures and emailed them and today got approved with a check coming in the mail from blackhawk services for each of the vgc not including the 6.95 activation fee for each card. imho best option if you don't mind a cc balance and waiting the 30-45 days  to get your check

Seriously? That's an option?
So you just buy it, call them up for a refund, send them pics and they send you a check in 30-45 days? That's huge

Well unfortunately our hobby overlaps with some nefarious activities. Easy way for some people to convert cash into legit checks.

Be careful when you get denied. Make sure you have a backup plan.
