i was surprised to see that there are apparently no fees or taxes if you buy an Amazon gift card, maybe others like ebay too

Isn't there a fee just to buy and/or activate these cards? Why would anyone buy them?

Just FYI, not trying to discount the value of this deal, I was not able to use any of these 3 cards online from the similar deals at HEB in the last 2 years. I was not able to add them to Paypal either. They seem to be for pay in-store only. I did call the customer services and was told that it works online only when the merchant does not require matching addresses between the billing address you typed in during the checkout and the address registered with the card. None of these 3 cards gave me an option to register my address with the card.

I just came back from HEB store. It was like a zoo, super crowded.

The fee for AMEX and MC is $6.95. Make sure you grab $100 fixed-amount cards as the variable-amount cards have $7.95 fee. The fee for Vanilla Visa is $7.95 even for $100 fixed-amount cards.

I used self-checkout and it was a long process. In my HEB store (not sure if it applies everywhere), each gift card transaction can only allow $212 total amount. I had to do 3 separate transactions since 2 prepaid credit cards would have $214 total amount. In addition, each transaction requires manager approval. I felt so apologetic for holding the line for so long. I was told using cashier checkout would be faster when buying all 3 prepaid credit cards.

I checked the balance for all 3 prepaid credit cards. Again, I was not given an option to register the cards with my name or address. As most online merchants require matching addresses between billing address and card address, most likely they can only be used in store.

I purchased these 2 days ago. It took about 5 minutes just to checkout and required a manager. I opened my Visa vanilla card and it doesn't have a CVV, so I can't activate it. I'm not sure it's worth the pita just for $38 on $300 spent

Warning: open the package before paying for these cards. The AMEX prepaid card I bought had its 4-digit security code scratched off. Upon further inspection, I noticed that this card's package was glued back differently from the Visa and MC cards I bought.

I always examine these cards' packaging closely before buying them. None of them appeared to be abnormal when I bought them. Be careful out there!

These aren't easy to use online -- unlike other prepaid cards, they don't allow you to register your address -- this may cause a vendor to reject it. I used my MC on Atmos Gas and the Visa at NTTA if you need to find a vendor.

$100 Card Value, $7 fee - $107 purchase price
6% AMEX Grocery CB Blue Cash = 107*.06= 6.42
$20 HEB GC

107 - 26 = $81 -- or $81 for $100 value.

I was able to roll 1 Visa/MC/Amex gift card into another purchase.. I had to active the card before using.. Overall, an excellent deal.

There's no tax because the tax is charged when you buy something with the amazon or ebay or whatever gift card and there's no fee because nobody would ever buy one when cash is always better than a cash equivalent gift card.
