Got around $600 in gift cards from credit card rewards. I've tried purchasing a money order with them. I've tried purchasing a Visa prepaid debit card with them. I've looked into buying something and returning it with the hopes of getting cash back. Read that's not possible

Any ideas? I'd rather not sell them online because they take 10%.

Buy shite from WM. That's what I'd do.

If walmart gift cards aren't as good as cash, I don't know what is

Then your only option is sell them for less then what it is on the card. If its $600 sell it for $500 cash.

You won't get cash back from a gift card. Otherwise ever drug dealer in the world would be doing it to launder their dirty money.


You might be one of them. I'm telling on you.

Buy $600 worth of Sudafed. Sell in Livingston Parish for $1200. Profit.

Why not use it to buy groceries? That's what I would do.

Are you never going to spend $600 at wal mart again? Because if so, why not use them

Money is fungible. My diverting $600 of spending from wherever you usually do it to Walmart, you will "convert" the WM GC money to cash if you don't overspend somewhere else.

How this isn't easy to see is baffling to me.

Don't buy that bag of chips from Winn Dixie and grab it from Walmart. Boom $3 in your pocket.

It's not difficult

If you want to liuidate the cards because your local Wal Mart doesnt have shite in it, go to Wal Marts website. They sell literally everything. You could buy a casket if you wanted. The website has infinte more items than your local store could think about carrying so just spend them unless you want to cash, where you will not get equal value.

I'm a student. I have a $1000 credit card bill due in a week. Hence the need for cash. I can pay it, but $550 is better right now than buying things at WalMart.
