Chase Gift Cards?

cantzme · #1 02-19-2013

Hey guys,

I am getting ready to build some stealths, and I was wondering if anyone has successfully used a Chase gift card with pp and eb?

They charge 2.95 activation fee opposed to 4.95 from vanilla visa, I figured I'd ask before I buy one tomorrow and test.

Thanks

Havent tried here but a colleague used one recently he snagged in the States - registered it to his address (real account though, just fyi) and worked fine.

I would be really interested to know if those work for pp and eb. I send them as birthday gifts to a lot of friends and can usually get up to 5 without the activation fee so that would be a fantastic resource to be able to use those.

There is gift cards out there that dont charge a activation fee. Try to find them at banks or look harder.

Maybe online, but I have asked at various banks locally in Florida and cheapest has been chase 2.95

I have a local credit union that gives them for free but ebay doesn't accept them.

MJ you were right

If you have a specific account in Chase you get them for free, which was good enough for me since all I had to do was upgrade my account since I qualified... Had to go poke around the brand and find a helpful banker.

Quick update, Chase gift cards work like a charm just created 5 stealths, no problems!

Any Chase branch you can buy them at, activation cost it's $3.50. If you have a premier business checking account (not business only personal) you can get them for free

Also NJ and CT they don't issue gift cards for some reason.

My credit union gives them to me for free but you need to be a military Veteran.

Those states have the toughest Banking and Insurance laws in the US.

BTW, do you have an Online link to these cards?
