Most people take this for meeting the new credit card spending requirement to earn bonus points.

FYI, if you get Visa and MasterCard GCs, use them quickly. I had a few $100 and $200 GCs from a churn awhile back and hackers ended up using my funds for random purchases at Amazon and other online retailers. There's no way to get those funds back.

You're missing out the intricacies of this deal. You can incur a negative balance with a gift card. I know someone who incurred a 4 figure negative balance on the gift card but I definitely won't recommend doing that. The guy did it at a brothel and don't know if the brothel or Visa got short changed.

I have more than 3 of such cards laying around my house with balances less than $10 to signup for services that asks for a valid credit card without fear of losing money.

It's Ink Cash that gives 5% on office supplies.

I bet it's a fake post with photoshopped trash. These cards won't allow to go negative even if there are pending tips. They will just decline ANY transaction that exceeds the remaining balance on the cards including pending charges. I know this, since I've bought these cards for years and tried every trick in the book to see what I can get away with. LMAO

It's not photoshopped. I taught over a dozen people seven years ago and they have been using the trick ever since without fail. Read the card's term of service and you will see there is a section mentioning negative balance and you agree to pay for it.

Many years ago, certain gas stations would only put a $1 temporary hold on the card. So if you have a $25 card, you can gas $24 first time, $23 second time,....etc. But that loophole has been fixed. Couple of people that I taught the negative balance trick actually told me about the gas station trick, but only two people got it working before that trick was killed.

1. Spend it to meet the spending requirement. 2. Bought couple of these for upcoming holiday gifts. 3. You can use it yourself. Ie I buy lots of prepaid card in case I need to use it on suspicious sites or recurring payments for something I don't want to continue forever. You wouldn't put your centurion card number every sites.

Hi can you pay insurance with multiple gc? I am a new driver and my insurance is usually 1200+ for half year, that means at least 6 gc to cover.
That's up to your insurance company, but generally speaking, yes. I used to do it with Erie every year, but a few years ago they made the year-in-full discount and paying w/ a credit/debit card mutually exclusive. The former saves me more money, so no more credit/debit at all for me.
