How to use small balance on gift cards?

[zoneout]

So I now have a dozen vanilla gift cards with small balances left from .25 to $10. Is there some way to conveniently consolidate these or should I just toss em?

[rsot]

No real way - many cc processors have a min of $1 per transaction.

What I found - and its silly - but a deli at my work sells jams for 17 cents each...and I get it for my breakfast so I have used small balance cards to buy them ha

When you next want to purchase something at a store, ask them to take the remaining balance from the card and you will pay the difference in cash.

or you can buy a cup of coffee and split it on 3-5 cards
But I'm guess you want some of that cash back right?
