Gotta disagree with that. That may work for small amounts, but if anyone is scaling that won't fly. I find the truth works best. In USPO, SamsClub, and when my bank questioned the MO's. I was completely honest with all of them (provided statements to bank showing the gc purchases) and have no issues with any of them now.
