Just added to the BB wiki:

Using A MC GC
Often a MC is declined at WM
The workaround is to:
1. Swipe MC
2.If you have the black and green screen press Cancel.If you have the white screen with colored touch icons, then right after you swipe a yellow 'change payment' button well pop up for a second, press that (you have to be fast)
3. select Debit
4. No Cash Back
5. Enter the PIN

Also seems to work if only $99 loaded.  or 99.99, too.

Cannot be done with the $200 GCs from staples? Often I find there aren't any visas but I heard there was trouble loading the MCs. Your saying now that MC GC is the same As OV was the last month of life for them?

Use the same method with Staples GC. Just did it last week at WalMart ATM.

$500 Staples? Regular $500 MC we know works, @Adam101 wants to know specifically about Staples GC.

Nope. Got it at S&S a while ago, and held onto it for a while. I think I loaded it about a month ago.

The way I understood that to mean was that if you're swiping for less than $100 - even 99.99- then there would be no problem and no need for the work around at all.

I vaguely remember there being some sort of promotion, or was it always available to upgrade your gold amex to platinum for a number of bonus points and then downgrade it to green for another number of bonus points, is this still around and what thread can I search to find this

Is there a thread with tips on how to sell reward nights, points, etc. safely?

Examples:
I'm looking for 2 Hyatt reward nights, how do I receive them in a way that they can't be rescinded?
I've got 2 Hyatt reward nights, how do I book them for the person who buys them from me?

I know various ways to receive money safely, but i'm unfamiliar with the other side of the equation and couldn't find a master thread. TIA
