I agree. I have enough expenses to use up about $3400 in GCs from Sprint and AT&T without converting them to cash.
I load my bluebird card from Amex using these Visa/MC GC at Walmart. No fees. That way I don't have to worry about some unknown hack draining these gift cards if you don't use them right away.

When you transfer as money, Paypal charges $0.30 + 2.9%. I wanted to buy something on Ebay anyway, so I bought Ebay GCs for no extra charge.
Percentage is as close to buying a MO (fee) and this saves me a few trips to the store as well. I am not one to add GC to Google Pay or store them with the possibility of loosing them.

That's good to know. How do you get bluebird card? Can it only be loaded in store not online? Thanks in advance.

As with all things Sprint, this is not always true.

None of my Tributes automatically unlocked. I had to go on chat and after wasting a bunch of time, 3 of them got unlocked, the other two... she told me there is a loan or contract on it. LOL. So then I asked her to escalate, and her response was she will. After waiting about 20 minutes, I asked 'Are you still there', she responded 'Yes'. After another 20 minutes, I asked 'Are you waiting for another department to unlock what is going on' to which she replied she sent it by email... Mad SMH. Don't they usually tell you to end the chat and wait a few days? What the hell was she thinking!

Anyway, still locked...and I'll probably have to go back to chat again when I'm bored if I really want these 2 unlocked. EEK!

If you're asking about the preowned LG Tribute bought on Sprint.com:
* Sprint automatically unlocks it on their end after 51 (?) days.
* On your phone, go into System Updates. Initially the UICC Unlock info will say "This phone is locked to a Sprint SIM only".
* Touch the UICC Unlock and it will try to unlock the phone. If it's successful, the phone will reboot, and the UICC Unlock will now say "The device is unlocked for any SIM card".
If it's unsuccessful, and your phone had been in service for more than 51 days, Chat with a Sprint rep and the rep will pass you on to a tech that will do the unlock on their end.

May be best for you but not for a lot of other people. I'm not a big consumer, I only buy necessities and Amazon is far from the cheapest on a lot of stuff. There are enough other ways to avoid letting Amazon own the world.

Maybe you like doing it that way, but it's not "best". Amazon GC can't be used to pay bills, or shop at many places.

Just apply at bluebird.com. Can be loaded with these GiftCards at Walmart for free. Some other stores may have a fee (don't know). Can be loaded online, but with a real debit card and not these GCs. Also, never use BB to withdraw cash. It is a red flag and they may close the acct. I use it to pay Water/Electricity Bills and School Tuition (using their bill pay). I buy GC at Staples using my Ink Plus Biz which gives me 5 points for every $ spent at Staples and OD.

I bought the Ebay GC on Paypal web site, and the alert showed Paypal was doing the $1 test charge. See attachment.
So this is actually PayPal wanting to validate the payment method, Ebay also do $1 test charge b/c PayPal is the back end payment processor for eBay and they are ending this partnership on July 2020

Besides two or three people who claimed to have got it (and didn't answer any of our questions), nobody has got their $300 GC for this deal yet.

Has your phone been in service for at least 90 days? That's one of the requirements.

anyone figure out how to debloat the LG tribute empire?
Here's the script I used to uninstall most apps: pastebin.com/rPyJezdx [pastebin.com]
Additional Sprint apps can be hidden with root: pastebin.com/QhFZQ0wi [pastebin.com]
These scripts can be executed in adb shell.

Keep in mind that the scripts uninstall most apps that are not required to boot the OS, including the phone, contacts, and launcher. The apps can be reinstall using "cmd package install-existing com.example.packagename".
