What are the "pay yourself" (i.e. Square) merchants out there?

Jumping in here...so we know that Square is sensitive to GCs...but how about any of the others? Flint has 5 transactions free, and I used 2 already, but I've got like 30 AGCs ($100/$200 denominations from recent Office Depot deal) so I probably should spread them out amongst various payment processors right?

Flint is useless. You may be able to do small transactions. But from what I've seen if you do the same amount more than once, or do the max for each transaction, then they will ask you verify a bunch of info.

I had some problems unloading a VGC to Redbird at Target today, which seems to match an unconfirmed report of Target starting to hardcode against VGCs. Let's assume worst case scenario and Redbird is dead.
I currently have a $500 VGC to unload, and need to spend about $500 more on my Chase Ink to meet minimum spend. For the sake of quickly doing this and researching other MS methods later, could I get a Square, swipe the VGC for $500, swipe my Ink for $500, never use the Square again and get away with it? Would that be enough to risk a shutdown and headache?
