BA Card - Got $2,500 in AMEX GC - How can I get rid of them?

[Spiffster]

Also, anybody know why people sell gift cards on ebay for more than the value???

Send them an email and ask....

If I sent myself $ using another account with amazon payments can I refund it back and still meet the amex spending requirement? or its better for me just to deposit the $ in my bank acct? i figured refunding it would be less risky...

thanks for the info what you need to do is u can send someone 1k a month of a cc so u get a friend with amazon payments to let u send him 1k then he cashes it out and gives it back to you. its like paypal without the fees and a limit of 1k

Why does my friend need an AP account too? can't I not send it to his email/phone?

He'll need to set up an account to accept the payment and transfer it to his bank account and/or send it somewhere.

Large amount? Questionable payee (e.g. relative)?

relative &500

relative &500

I don't remember seeing that on AP, but it might be usual, or it could be that you paid a relative...

I've done 2 payments for $500 each and both times received that message and both times it was processed without issues a day later. I wasn't as careful as I should have been with regards to IP addressees, names etc. That's probably what it was.

Thanks. Sighhh...

let me guess...

first payment to or fro the particular account, right? and the transaction shows "pending"?

if so, it processes within a day and there's no problem with it.  and the month the transaction will cont against is when you initiated it, so if you did this on the 31st and it didn't process until the 1st, your june is still wide open.

fyi: the key to AP is to take it slow and build up the account(s)...
