In case you have a small balance remaining, I just found out the minimum amount to reload Amazon gift cards have been raised to $5.00 (previously $1).

These are very hard to liquidate unless you plan to convert to something like Amazon or Walmart giftcards. I'm still trying to spend $300 because so many retailers reject them. They can't be added to PayPal or Google Pay to use in-store. Some utilities may accept them, but it's a lot of work to spend.

Please be aware that if you plan to use these virtual Visa cards to buy Walmart gift cards, you can only use them to buy physical gift cards to be delivered to your home. You cannot use them to buy Walmart eGift cards.

Not so long ago, Walmart switched its delivery company from FedEx to a no-name company. Unfortunately I was not aware of that until it was too late as I never had any issue with physical gift cards delivered by FedEx nor had anything stolen from my door (I work from home).

Last week, I ordered a physical gift card from walmart.com. This new delivery company stole my gift card from the envelope in Tennessee during a 3-hour stop shown on the tracking information. When the empty envelope was delivered to my door in Texas, I immediately reported the stolen card to walmart.com. I was promised to receive the replacement card but nothing was sent after 3 days. When I called again, I learned that Walmart did not deactivate the gift card I reported stolen and still let the thief use it at a store in Tennessee 3 hours after I reported it stolen. Now they have refused to send replacement card claiming that the card has been used after delivery. I have made 5 calls to walmart.com including their managers and their gift card department, they still refused to replace the stolen gift card.

This appears to be an inside job and an organized crime most likely involving walmart.com and delivery company as a team because the thief knew to use the gift card only after the status was marked as delivered and walmart.com purposely did not deactivate the gift card after I reported it as stolen. I am trying very hard to fight this organized crime as one person against the entire organization. Any suggestion and help would be greatly appreciated.

Please do not order anything from walmart.com.

I haven't had a problem loading them into ie Walgreens or Burger King and using in store. Takes care of the small change leftovers. Fortunately my insurance and utility still takes these.

I agree, they work in store but have problems working online. Probably still better than Amex gift cards though. Also, I think these ones charge inactivity fees should you not use them for some time.

Just FYI: I couldn't access the info on the card after activating it and the phone rep claims they're having problems with their website.

These are extremely powerful if you know how to use them correctly (I included a screenshot back in Feb 13 2015 and I've been using the same trick for over 15 years). The Staples deal was $200 for $200 with fee waived couple weeks ago, and it was physical card. I buy them anyway even though people say it doesn't make any sense. The Staples deal can be better when the credit card offers 5% cash back on Apple Pay which Staples accepts. But 4% off is a no brainer.

I have no problem getting merchants to manually enter the card. So ask if they can enter card manually and don't assume they don't accept virtual Visa.

Emptying the card: prepay your bills (insurance, utility, phone, etc). If over $5, then you can buy an Amazon GC for yourself.

What is your trick? In store only? A lot of payment processors have stopped allowing them online since January. I used to use to pay cable, insurance, prop tax, rent payments etc. Now both physical and virtual no longer work at these places. Definitely getting harder to liquidate.

I don't get it. Is this for people who don't have good credit. What's the big deal about $4 off $100?

Yes, the trick needs to work in store. It's something you cannot do with a credit card. But I don't understand why you're not able to use physical and virtual Visa. I'm able to use it to pay utility bills and tolls. I just did that few weeks ago when I had to empty all the cards I purchased. I'm even able to use it at many restaurants asking them to enter the numbers manually. You must be doing something wrong.


Only if you know the secret, you'd be buying every Visa/MC/AmEx GC deals. This is why whenever there is a rebate where you have a choice of paypal, check, or prepaid card, I always choose the latter. This deal is $4 off, not $6. I'd buy it if it were $100 for $100. Hopefully Staples will have deals when one of the popular credit card offers 5% cash back on Apple Pay for the quarter.
Care to share some info on the secret?

my Citi SWYR card gives $250 in points for $750 in online purchases this month. But you do you.

It's like a 4% reward on your credit card. It's good for ordering things on shady websites. Or to give to the dad that you don't care to see but feel guilty enough to care to gift something.

Sorry, i don't understand how is that related to OPs deal? Regarding that, the promo looks like only for first 3 months. And you don't get cash back, you get points that you have to spend somewhere else.
