Fire - possibly, but not likely for the time being. I believe that they use a clever tactic, although they do not advertise it.

The purchase shows up as some sort of phone card. The check is sent from a 3rd party unrelated source via a courrier, with tracking info and everything. Had no problems dealing with them for nearly 2 years now.

Recently, after coming across this forum, I just realized another use for them (until now, I was just amazed that I was never charged a cash advance fee for the transactions and was loving it).

I have also benefitted from all you FT'ers and wanted to give a little back in any way possible. Some may be able to take advantage of this knowledge. But like you mentioned, will probably not be for everyone.
