A great way to finish off all those little amounts left over. I just have to keep the cards around for a bit to confirm they are totally used up before deleting them from the account and tossing them.

does just registering the card without sending a payment actually cause AP to authorize the card (ie send the $1 test payment)? i thought i tried that before and it didnt work, and ended up sending $1 less than the gift card balance for the transaction to go thru.

when you reg the card the first time with amazon, change the exp date so it is incorrect.
after reg, go back in and correct exp date, then load $500.
thanks for the reminder!
i remember the workaround not working for me once before so i never tried again. was feeling brave just now so i tried it and it worked, but this time i registered with a typo, sent a payment which failed, corrected typo, and then sent the 2nd payment which worked. was curious if we can just register w/a typo and then correct without sending the first (failed) payment? thanks for any insight! if no response i'll try tomorrow and report back
