The recent thread selling a prepaid visa card got me wondering.
I have $1300 worth of $100 prepaid visa cards. I just want a pile of money to pay bills, not cards. Does anyone know if they’ll work in an ATM?
Edit: it says on the visa website that they will, but don’t most ATMs charge a fee? Does this mean I wouldn’t be able to withdraw $100 on a $100 card if I owe the ATM $2 or whatever for the transaction?

Yes,with some of them they can be set up with a pin# on the website.$100 isnt possible but $98 might be,some M&T ATMs will actually give singles and change you wont have to worry about a remaining balance.

you can also use as many cards as you want when paying for money orders to pay bills.
like if the total on the register is 1200$
you can use all 12 cards, they will keep requesting additional tender until the cards cover them
I’ve used 2 - 3 gift cards in a row plenty of times

Does wegman do this? I’ve never had to use a money order oddly enough. I just keep forking the cards over and they hand me a money order?

no matter what the bill is, if you use debit, they will continue to request additional tender until the balance is paid, and youll have to keep swiping cards in the machine.
Its like that everywhere when you empty a gift / debit card
if you punch credit and there isnt enough it might reject it, so use debit

You can pay many bills at tops or wegmans with debit cards.
I’ve only done it once, I think they charge $1 for most regular bills.

I just did this with one I got for $50.
The card itself took $1 for ‘cash advanced’ the ATM took $3 for it being issued at another bank…so I was able to withdraw $46. I didn’t care about $4, but with $1000 worth it would suck a little

Yeah. I accidentally gave myself a $7000 American express bill this month. So the money order thing would be nice…

I’ll give you $1K cash and you can use it anywhere you want. Or I can give you $1K in pennies or monopoly money.
I’ll deff find a way to use the cards up.

Cash expenses (gas food etc)
only bills I have are Amex and phone.
I spend very little money. Mostly only on ammunition and guns once in a while.
