Simon just gave up a Central Florida Mall

The new property managers just do AMEX gift cards.

Fortunately there are 2 other Simon Malls close by, one has chip system, fill out form $10,000 limit NO problems.

CSR was happy to help, knows what I was doing and 2 others were doing same thing. Oh, they call in for an authorization but just takes a minute.

One is now my go to Simon gift card source. Never had a problem with Simon VISAs.

However in Central Florida liquidating is hit or miss even at same store/supermarket in the same day.

I'm assuming Southdale is your SM of choice? After reading some of the frustrations in here, it's nice to be asked something like "Do you care what design, or are you buying them for the credit card points? We're trying to get rid of the holiday cards."

Same problem today with 2 of the 38 we liquidated. They eventually went through, but one of them took 5 tries. Better than my 11 Sunnies that would not work at all today, same issues people had last October. I had to liquidate them by using credit to buy other gc's. Not a happy day, cost me an extra $55 and a lot of time. Kinda scared to buy more Simons this weekend like I had planned, as I leave to Philippines on Wednesday and do not want any issues right before leaving. decisions decisions.

Where besides for walmart and FD can I liquidate these VGC's? Also, how much does FD allow you to load at once?

He just asked some questions. It's totally irrational to become angry at that -- you don't own the information.

Meezewho1122, read this thread if you're interested in buying MOs with them.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...ift-cards.html

I don't know the answer to your second question, since I don't use FD.

There are lot of people(seniors and their aliases) who just get irritated by seeing the questions and post irrelevant replies and targeting new comers .

Why cant they move on or redirect them to correct threads.

Atleast 1 member is not like this. Thanks

This is not the thread to ask those questions. As mentioned above, look at the "New to Manufactured Spending" thread at the top of the "Manufactured" Spending list. You can ask newbie questions there. Also do searches on the entire forum for your questions. There are plenty of threads that talk about what you asked. Asking them in other threads will bring out people who are tired of answering these questions for people who do not seem to read. (Which may not be your issue.) You need to read, read, and read these threads until you have your own basic understanding of what to do and where to start.
