How can I get cash for my VISA gift cards?
« on: October 22, 2013, 12:18:23 AM »
Hi, the only Walmart anywhere near me has a non-working ATM and will not help at all with Bluebird.  And Amazon Payments is not accepting them either.  I have $2000 that I need to get rid of.  Don't want to pay 3% at Google Wallet.  Any ideas?  Thanks!!

Bluebird recently made it free to load from debit on their website, and you do not need Walmart any more. You can then transfer to bank account or pay off bills.

However, as was mentioned elsewhere, and as Dan wrote on the main site, loading GCs online is not recomended, as there have been several report of people being shut down.

These generic GCs are a problem to load onto BB.  You need one registered to the same name as the BB account.

Otherwise, at $100/ day, it's slow, but steady.

Depends where you are it is a YMMV. I have had success loading thousands of dollars worth of these at WM and i am sure many other people have as well.

I was referring to linking them to the BB account and loading $100/ day w/o fee.

Loading at walmart - go to it!

I've begun using  my GCs on 'every day' spending.  Even on line.  Anything that doesn't earn extra points on a specific cc.  I earned the points when I bought the GC. 
This doesn't use up the thousands of dollars worth of GCs I have, but I hope to make a dent on it even when I can't get to WM.

If you try to add a GC to your BB account online you WILL get shut down.  It is usually not a problem to get the account reactivated by playing dumb.  That being said, do NOT add GC to your online BB account.
What do you do after your dreams come true?

I continue to buy. Just know that you will not always be able to cash them out. Got to show up at the right time and get a good cashier.
