I used my new sparks card and the bills due in a few weeks. I’m desperate.
obviously a newbie to this biz. The cardinal rule of MSing: Make sure you can pay for the cards without liquidation. In an emergency,:car accident/blizzard for 5 days/floods/sickness, long lasting power failures,even COVID which kept me and others out of stores for 18 months. I was stuck with 35 500.00 vanillagift.com. cards purchase online from March-June 2020. Height of pandemic. Started liquidation in person 2 months ago. Paid these cards off as soon as I received them. That's the trick. Do not rely on immediate liquidation. Dont buy if you can not pay for them from other funds. These are not normal times like they used to be.
