Does the really need to be a 4x6 card or would a 3x5 be sufficient?
Is following the instructions as stated too difficult?

Unless I'm counting wrong, I think it's $280. And I won't be mailing on Shabbos.
After Shabbos, while it's still Saturday.

Yes.  I read the rules. M, T, W, Th, F, and Sat pickup- into the box Friday after their last Fri pickup.
I prepared a few envelopes and wrote the day to be mailed on the back of each one. They'll go out on the way to shachris. 
But I'm not going to go crazy on this one.  Redeeming the Victoria Secret gift cards has to be within April with probably one card per purchase.  So that really limits you to many small items.

Unless some in store managers let u stack them OR you get one that is greater then $10. I have lined the 4x6's up already. Now on to the envelopes.

Will these gc be able to be used online as well?
If they are in store only and 1 gc per visit then they are basically worthless (30 store visits)

With crowds coming in with piles of $10 GCs I wouldn't count on the kindness of managers.
For the 4x6's I cut printer paper. You get 2 perfect 4x6's and one nice sized scrap paper per printer paper.  I've always found that #10 envelopes are cheaper than the small ones, so I buy a box of 500 and keep them around for ever. Although lately they've been going fast.  ;)

I expect to buy many small items on one visit. (underwear, lotion..)

Luckily my work provides me with envelopes and 4X6 notepads so I just have to suffer through the writing and make my way to the post office for 58 stamps.

i am realizing now, that to use online, there would be a $6 shipping fee, on each order. Considering that you can only use one $10 GC per order, you just lost 60% of your savings to shipping.
To use in store, would require multiple store visits for only $10. Neither option look to be worth it.

How about multiple checkouts in 1 visit.

I am not sure what you mean by that. Using multiple GC on 1 shipping?

I think he meant using multiple gcs on one trip to VS just get back in line and buy another item or multiple transactions.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

You can probably do this 2,3,or 4 times. If you end up with 29, 58 cards (2 households) or more.., you will need a ton of visits.
