Anyone know if this would work in Israel?
someone reported saying it worked a few times and then stopped. I have one, just haven't tried it yet.
I don't see someone saying they tried it. Anyone do this successfully?

It took close to an hour for me - don't worry if it's not immediate

Can I use this for only charging visa gift cards? This sounds like an easy and convenient way to meet the sign-up bonus thresholds and manufacture spending for the Ink cards?

I have this small issue here. I want to use Amazon Register and Square to liquidate Visa GC which I bought to generate spending and meet Ink signup bonus; but I don't have the available cash to lay out for the processing fees. I think I might need to cash out some UR points to pay the processing fees so I can earn the new sign up bonus, but I feel like this is a sin!

It takes the processing fees from the GC's

If you do 20,000 AND 200 transactions
Source?
IME with other CC processors, you get a 1099-K even if you don't hit $20,000 or 200 transactions.

So I'm not sure where you get that certainty from.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

I know but I'm still going to need the cash to pay the CC bill. And I don't work.

I'm currently using Serve to meet threshold for a different CC and I'm not sure what the limits are. I'll check it out though, thanks for the reminder.
