Pooling Credit Cards
 

I dunno if this makes any sense but...

I got a whole bunch of disposable credit cards that I used for ebay accounts. They all have a small amount of money on them each - about 30 dollars.

after 6 months the credit card company will charge 4 bucks a month till the card is used up. Quite a waste of money.

Using the cards to buy groceries is a slow way to use em up and also inefficient - always a few dollars left over. Is there somewhere I can just pool all these odds and ends cash, and then withdraw it all? :confused:

Well you could spend them at Target. Target will add the balance on the card torward your purchase. I do not know of another store that does this. But I am sure they exist.

When I have small amounts left on a vcc I use them for everyday bills. comcast works great. i have made 25 cent vcc payments on my comcast account.

HI:
I go to the local 7-11-- I send my kids in 1 at a time, I get .70 cents gas on pump #11,
then 3.66 on pump 11, then 2.22 on pump 11, etc,
I can usually use up 3-4 quick.
Also-walmart- I tell the girl--i have 1.06 i'd like to use up--credit--she punches it in-i swipe, thats it. I can use 4 or 5 there.. :)

Wow!
I didnt even know Walmart gave prepaid cards and stuff. Hope it applies in Canada - Im off to a walmart!

Not sure if it is true of Walmart. But with Target the cashier will apply the balance on the gift card towards your purchace without you knowing the balance.

With most retailers you must know the balance on the card for them to enter it and many have 10 or 15 dollar minimums for credit card transactions even though they are not allowed to enforce a minimum.

You pay for internet and cable service right? Just prepay all your bills for the next few months.
