Ok so I've read this thread (ALL of it...) at least twice. Good info to be sure.
But, has *any*one seen Jelly Bellies in the inner Bay Area? I'm fine with just having fun with gift cards at Orifice Desperate to meet min spend but just curious. I have been to at least 7 Convenience Value Service (though that S part is debatable) and the rackus is emptius.

Billpay to PSE&G in New Jersey worked great. Payment rec'd and processed exactly on time.

Has anybody successfully used BillPay (online, no paper check) to pay property tax? I know this has been asked multiple times, but I don't recall ever seeing a clear answer. If so, what county or city? I want to pay my Los Angeles County tax, but my payment stub says "Los Angeles County Tax Collector" while BB has "Los Angeles County Tax CA" listed as one of their payees. I suppose they're the same, but I don't want any surprises.

Assuming you mean the SF Bay area.....
I've been to 3 of the same convenience stores in Oakland looking for beans and have found empty racks at all 3. At one store I saw where they *should* be, but there were none there. At the other 2 stores, I didn't see where, if they carried them, they would be.

Any Floridians out there have set up bill pay FPL?
Do you use the hyphen on your account number?
I gather the zip code is the FPL zip code on the bill, but not your own zip code.

The 5 CVS stores I stopped at in Ohio over the last 3 weeks had VRs for sale using CC. Their racks have since dwindled down to nothing. The manager I talked to today expects a new shipment over the next two days. Has anyone out there actually seen their local CVS restock the racks after they have sold out?

Yes...don't worry and check back after a couple of days.

Would think you could go ahead and make the payment and if it does not post in a couple of days, you would still have a chance to pay via regular means.

Data point:
I've now been able to successfully pay off my Discover, Citi, Amex, and Wells Fargo CCs. Discover took the longest time to pay off.

This may have been asked/mentioned before so I'm sorry if it has... I did not read through all 218 pages. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a visa gift card that can be used as a debit card? I know some of them say debit on them but those are normally rung up as a credit card at stores. I haven't done a lot of research on this but I figure I may give it a try at my local CVS that is no longer accepting credit cards for Vanilla Reloads... or try and find a local place that will sell me the green dot with a CC and go that route.

There are other things you can do with your gift cards...but not this.

Buy other reload cards. Fund your Paypal acct with them. Get a Paypal debit card and then use it to fund your Bluebird
