 ak3883 join:2005-08-20 Portsmouth, RI | to the band I've gotten these a couple times, and have just taken them to my credit union and treated them as an envelope deposit, same as depositing multiple checks. Just put the card in the envelope and do a deposit at the ATM. Never a problem, the card clears a couple days later. |
 | Hmmh...I tried taking a prepaid gift card to the bank once, but I was told that without a PIN, I couldn't deposit the funds.
I hate the rebate gift cards. I use them at the grocery store. I put a sticker on the front that allows me to track my spending and when I don't have enough left to cover the whole purchase, I have the clerk put exactly that amount on that card and pay for the rest with my credit card. Luckily, the cash register supports this type of transaction (and the cashiers know how to make it work!). |
