If you have serve you could do in Wal-Mart also

Ah, I see that now on the wiki thanks. Still, I usually try to do the most minimal work so it might be worth the fees...

Anyone know if this also works in Office Depot, since they're now one company?

Is there an easy way to liquidate them? Can you use VGC at an atm?
Many easy ways although ATM is not one of them:

By easy I mean don't have to leave my house to load money at a store. Considering that I don't have bluebird (i prefer serve) or redcard, it seems the next option is evolvemoney to pay bills or swipe at amazon at 1.75% fee.

Just went this morning, rang up 2 $200 Visa cards for $393.90. Did it twice. Then I asked the cashier if I can get more, she said "the rules say no, but I don't mind." Got another two sets.

This is so much better than staples rebates that come in 2 months. True there's no visa savings, but you can get a lot more done here than finding so many addresses for staples
any code/coupon required?
Is it also available @ od?

Cashier needs to scan something. Office Max only

Although the promotion terms (see picture linked below) say “2 offers per business/household,” my local OM said it’s a maximum $500 per person. When I asked to see that in writing, the manager wouldn’t show me anything and said it’s “Office Depot policy.”  I've read elsewhere that the scan sheet at the register says only 1 per.
They were out of $200 Visa GCs (plenty of MC left), but had $100 Visas. The cashier allowed me to do two $300 transactions, as I showed her I had Ink cards under two different businesses. I didn’t make much ($20 – (3 x $5.95 fee) = $2.15), but at least I can pad my UR.

My office max scan sheet says "limit 1" and they are sticking to it.

Since this hit DDMS there's been a significant increase in interest in this deal, the cashier even keeps the V/MCGCs behind the counter.

Based on the demographics of the people buying these and the fact that the spike was in the late afternoon after DDMS post I'm sticking with #DDEffect.

I hit 3 OM today, 2 of them allowed me to spend $1800 on each of my inks (2) actual cost 1742.55 ;D.
The last OM claims that I can't pay for GC with separate CCs even though they're from 2 different biz??
Did I just get lucky with the first 2?

Yesterday hit one OM and did $300 purchase (1x200+1x100). Stopped by another OM today, and they had a photocopied flyer on the GC promo and had marked through "limit 2" and wrote "limit 1." Manager was sticking by it. They were out of $200 cards, and I didn't want to incur costs of 3 $100 cards, so I am waiting to go back to original OM tomorrow and press my luck there.

YMMV big time with these things. Even in same store with different cashiers

Someone asked me today if I was "also looking for the DansDeals" as I was perusing the GC rack at OM.

This was not in a major DD area.

Of course Dan is behind this and all other deals without Dan they would never exist
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Hit OM again today, this time only got 1 transaction per store. Even though the guy at the cash was appreciative of the big purchase helping out the morning numbers...

I'm having issue loading MC GC at WM to BB , Even with hitting the yellow key to change payment. Does this have anything to do with the newer MC GC that come with a PIN?
