pin or no pin?

i think you can go to walmrt and have them transfer it to BB but there is a limit per each day/ i believe total balance as well....if you have multiple BB then more plausible....

No pin needed for AP
Even to load the GC?

With AP, you don't load anything.  You send the funds directly to the other persons account.

I was initially replying to
If I have $500 Mastercard gift card (not debit, no pin) Can I cash this out via AMazon payments?
Wouldn't they need to have a pin to load on AP and then cash it out??

Amex gc's do not have pins.

There was a thread where it discussed loading a GC and entering the wrong exp date. After you entered it, you can switch the date and then withdraw. Was that not with AP?

Can you go to the store, buy a soda and take cash out for the rest? May take some time, but...

It was about AP

Before you send money to someone you need to add that card to your AP account, and in order to avoid them putting a $1 hold on the card you can first enter a wrong exp. date but no pin is needed for that

Yes, but you don't withdraw. You send the $ through AP.

Amex gift cards only work as credit. Cash back is only for debit.

IIRC some stores offer you CB for CC's as well but tiny amounts.

You can get cb from walmart (and some other stores?) with a discover card.

Never owned a discover and still was given the option in the past.

I think if you bring up that number 5x the count will make everything right.

Walmart Bluebird - 1k per day max to load at Walmart and 5k max per month.  Get multiple BB cards (for you, your wife, etc) and make daily trips to Walmart.  There is no cost to load at Walmart.

I don't think you can cash these out using Amazon Payments, but am not sure. 
What do you do after your dreams come true?
