Amazon Payments and Vanilla reloads to a bluebird card, Works great!

Simple, pick up an abacus and all the jellybeans you can buy with those free gift cards and start crunching the numbers

Gift cards churning is so much trouble when you can just order an unlimited number of iPhones before easily and legally reselling them at cost for cash :P

I think it is just a fraud protection measure to keep scanners from unloading lots of cards.
fraud and fees, i am sure anything that cost paypal, or any of these online services fees are dismissed for "fraud"

Time to call the WSJ! Looks like this opportunity is soon to be pickled.

Yes. This question. I can't quite figure it out. Craigslist? Signing up on contract and just paying the ETF? Any other ideas? I'm fascinated by this pile of phones.

craigslist would be easy enough. I would love to have access to something like this. Not just for miles/points but could be a nice import business with sufficient volume

I've also heard of a kid locally here buying AT&T iPhones on contract and then basically re-selling them at a profit of $100-200 per phone to some guy (I think I heard rumblings of them re-selling them in China or something like that). Kinda sounded like a scam, but my guess is they are getting around some sort of ban or cost that makes it worth it to do it.

Does anyone remember if the square causes cash advance fees on any credit card?
