But, if you try to swipe one for the full $500 it'll get fraud locked by InComm and you'll have to call customer service for a replacement card. InComm cards bought online (VanillaGift, Simon, TheGiftCardShop.com) all run for the full $500 without issues so far.
One last thought, since you appear to be new to the game, know the difference between InComm and BHN. If you don't, then keep reading before you go much further.
Definitely new. I've read through a lot and try to only ask questions I can't find answers to. I tried the OM MC which is BHN before I found info on here about how the swipes only work for $99 or maybe it was $50...I can't remember now. I do like the OM ones because I can use CIC and get 5x points so I may try buying the Incomm ones with the OM ones. We shall see how motivated I get...Thanks for the tips!
