How to use up the eHappy card? I always have a small balance left which can be a waste. Can Macy's store cashier enter manually the card number, exp and cvv stuff?
All store should be able to split the transactions. Sometimes you have to tell them how much is left and a new balance will be shown. I haven't tried this at Macy's specifically but other store can and do do this.
A lot of steps…
I bought one. Had to give my info to "Blackhawk." Then they emailed me, which I completed, chose what store brand, then sent back. Then it states that I get another email with my actual giftcard within 24 more hours.
Thumbs up to the OP! I never seem to know when Kroger runs deals like this, and GameStop allows purchase of both their credit and/or online-marketplace credit (PSN, Xbox, Steam, Nintendo, etc), so this is one of the few ways remaining to get digital-marketplace currency @ 16% off when you go to the B&M store to get yourself or give to someone a tangible gift / gift-card.
A few notable tips occurred to me that I thought I'd share for this SlickDeal(tm) and/or future Happy card SD's down the road ...
The retailer processes these Happy cards EXACTLY like a non-reloadable credit card, of which I believe these are Discover cards, due to the first digit being "3".
If you have an item requiring more funds than will fit on the Happy card, so you have to use a 2nd CC, you'll need to either call & place your order online, or go to the B&M store for the split transaction.
With stores like GameStop, if you have enough credit on your store account and/or gift-card for the remainder, the website will ALWAYS deduct from the gift-card first, so again, you'll need to go to the B&M store to handle the split transaction.
If you're stumped about what to get @ GameStop (amongst the 6 or so chains listed), I recommend getting GameStop and/or digital-marketplace currency, so that "an even dollar amount" is deducted, and you don't end up with "uneven" or "small" amounts remaining (due to sales tax, prices ending with ".99", etc), and thus you might feel like throwing it away.
Purchasing digital-marketplace currency (PSN, Xbox, etc) requires some pre-planning, especially when it's a $25 Happy card, because some digital-marketplace currency may only come in $10/$20/$50 increments, leaving $5 left over. To use that last $5 with GameStop's website, you'll either purchase $5 of GameStop credit with the $5 remaining, so you can combine it with another Happy card's remaining $5 to purchase $10 of PSN ... or once again, go to the B&M store to handle the split transaction.
And lastly, if you're a member of GameStop's PUR program, and get a $5 coupon code to use each month, go to the B&M store to use this credit, because often the B&M store will gladly apply the $5 coupon to your digital-marketplace currency purchase (whereas the website doesn't let you do this).
I bought several of these Happy Gift cards several months ago and I'm having trouble using them at Lowe's. The cashiers don't know how to do a split transaction, so they always have to track down the manager. Is there any way to either convert these to actual Lowe's gift cards or merge the balances onto 1 Happy card? Right now, the only way I use these without drama at the register is if the transaction amount is for less than the amount on the card. Then I end up with a few $$ left on the cards that I can't use.

Bummed because I wanted to use it today. 😔
Edit: NM-received it pretty quickly.

Whew!
I also don't have a current digital coupon for 4x points on gift card when I search the website.
Source for the 4x points promo on this deal?
