How to cash out GCs

[CountValentine]

Went to Staples this morning to load up on more $200 Visa giftcards and bought 10 of them cuz I'm heading upstate to Walmart later today. The cashier asked what do I do with $2000 in giftcards so I told her all about Bluebird and paying your bills/rent essentially with a credit card. By the time I was done explaining it & pulling my Ink Bold & BB cards out of my wallet I had all the employees in the store standing around me listening, writing down "dansdeals.com" AWESOME! Now the only problem is, I may never be able to get the giftcards there anymore if the employees are always buying them out! Thanks Dan!!

This must be a joke because nobody could be this stupid, could they?

Huh? Theyll know what you're doing and won't sell them to you anymore.

Not just to him, they won't sell to ANYONE anymore.

This is how something like this dies.

It reminds me of the guy who called amex telling them about Dansdeals, and how it "says over there, and clearly, how you are supposed to get matched when you tell Amex..."

[CountValentine]

...but they never did match it for me. Did I say the wrong thing?

I bought 8 GCs from Staples and tried liquidating them on AP but they froze my account... Now I still have these GCs and live in Israel so can't go to Walmart. I do have BlueBird but that's about it.

Any advice on what I can do? Or am I stuck until I go to the States (which might be in several years...)

I assume I can buy Amazon GC with it, but then I'd be stuck with $1600 worth of Amazon credit..

Evolve, everyday expenses (groceries,tuition, etc) or sell them to a friend who could use them for everyday stuff.

Evolve wouldn't work for me since they don't have any payees in Israel

Meaning, if I made charges on my citi card, then I can pay off the cc with the CG (ymmv)?
