BBV- Help me get money to donk off on Stars

BJLTNYK · #1 01-12-2007, 12:12 AM

No this isn't a money request. I'm asking for the creativity of BBV to help me out. I have these three $50 gift cards from a bank that my grandma gave me for Christmas. When you swipe them at a store, they are credit but that's where the similarities end. I basically want to turn these into cash.

I went to the post office to try and buy three money orders that I would then cash. No good. Can only buy them with cash or debit cards. PayPal doesn't work because it's not really a credit card.

Any ideas BBV? I want to donate some money on Stars ASAP.

goto the bank and cash them out...

Not an option unfortunately. This bank and their stupid rules suck.

could ebay them, but posting them on craigslist is probably faster. perhaps you could buy something with them at a store, and then return the item later with your receipt to get cash? 24 hour walmart ftw let you gogogogo

Never done craigslist...would someone reply quickly? And is WalMart definetly cash returns esp if you use credit? I can't wait to gogogo.

Some sites actually let you use them to deposit money. If they are Visa gift cards, I believe FT lets you use them. It's worth a try on Stars.

I would assume that is the first thing he tried...

Wal-Mart allows you to get cash back for all purchases under 10 bucks. (and get cash back without providing ID)

So buy 10 items for 9.99, then return them over and over until you have got the 99.99.

You're welcome!
