Anyone can share tips on how to dump them in non-movie ways? Please PM if it's sensitive info.
Prior DP's seem to indicate that these cards are the most restrictive of all the Everywhere cards.
Some possible suggestions, although I have no info as to whether they work
- streaming movies, can you use these to pay for them
- paying for performances other than movies, such as live shows
- paying for gear such as tees, etc. at a live or video performance
- when all else fails, gifting. Fortunately, MEs (I believe) are only$100 so as a birthday or anniversary gift, not outlandish.

Finally I do remember a string where someone got a refund because they could not use the cards, and somewhere in the T&C's was a line about the inability to use the card made the buyer eligible for a refund, which they got. I don't remember the details, but it was in FT. Perhaps someone else remembers better than me. Good luck
