I've bought Safeway Suttons (these seem easy to liquidate, although 3 of my 4 purchases of these ALSO resulted in fraudulent cards with #s on the front card scratched out, 3 digit security codes scratched out, and even paper photocopies covering the barcodes). I've also branched into WM VGCs. Seems the SS VGCs (40975808) are easily liquidateable most places. So are some other Pathward/Incomm VGCs I bought at WM. However I've run into serious issues liquidating the new Xmas/Holiday type Vanilla Pathword/Incomm VGCs (40975823) ANYWHERE. Can't liquidate them into MOs at Kroger/Safeway/WM. I can't even load them into various instruments FOR UNDER $49 at WM SCO. If you scroll up to Post #356 in this thread, it looks like somebody else is having the same issues, and finally had success loading these into Amazon last week. My Amazon balance is already high enough that I'd prefer not to dump these there, so I may simply hafta just use these for organic spending, but moral of the story is to stay far away from the WM Holiday VGCs (40975823)!!! If anybody here figures out a decent way to liquidate these things, lemme know pls!!!
