US Bank CC: What's your take?
« Reply #20 on: June 10, 2012, 12:15:09 PM »
Hello, anybody home!  ;D
Just wondering how much is costs to cash out the gift cards?
Is there a fee at the ATM?

I don’t think they can be cashed out any more at ATM’s or banks. If you do find one don’t post it (but feel free to PM me with it  :) ) or it will die in days. Most cash out via AP or some of the pay services like SQ and Vennmo. Some prepaid cards might also be able to be funded with these.

would gift cards @ some of the 5% places be a money maker?

Are you talking about visa gc's?
The money maker would be on the ones that cost $6 for $500.

Most stores only carry the $100 denomination (and lower), for $6.

I think it depends what area you are in. Many have no problem finding $500 GC’s at G/G/D for either a 4.95 or 5.95 fees.

Not that I know of. My pathmark also has. Why do you need to buy online?

So I can go through a shopping portal.

Walmart $200 has a $6.88 charge per card.
Does it pay?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

You won't (in all likelihood) qualify for any of the US Bank 5% categories with an online purchase.

Would you think it would be merchant code dependent?

Yes, and there are separate internet merchant codes AFAIK.
