1. These cards always expire within 24 hours of being issued. The “expiration date” on the virtual credit card is just for credit card machines to process the transaction and has no bearing on when the underlying voucher expires.
2. That’s seems silly and arbitrary. Annoying if true.
3. Billing zip code is
60173 (or at least was 6 months ago last time I used). Make up whatever you want for the address.
Apps like Starbucks or chick fil an allow you to load cash onto the app, effectively buying a gift card that can then be used at your convenience any time in the future. The strategy everyone in here is discussing is using the voucher to “load” or “buy” future credit in the Starbucks app for
the exact amount of the voucher. I don’t drink Starbucks enough to use the Starbucks app but I’m sure it’s similar to Chickfila. Open the app, go to your account, pick add funds, then choose from new credit card and enter the details from the voucher.
Voila! You’re voucher that was due to self destruct in a few hours is now good forever, albeit only at Chick-fil-A or Starbucks or wherever you locked it into.
