That was cool with her. I think it's good to "tell the truth" on this (well, some vague version of the truth) because I think what most managers would be concerned about is that you're involved in some illegal money laundering.

BTW, my whole exposure to this stuff makes me wonder what percentage of Visa/Mastercard/AMEX "gift cards" are actually used for their supposed intention (gifting money so friends/family can buy things).
