Buy concert and sporting event tickets at face value. Resell on stubhub. If you know what's going to be worth a lot you can actually make money in addition to MSing miles and points. The fact that people do this as a career should be a good sign.

There used to be service desks that sold GCs at those malls. Is that where you got yours? Thanks for reply.

Are you talking on-line or the actual mall?

Potentially useless information: For those who live in NC, State employees credit union offers $500 VGCs for $1 ($2.50 by mail). T&C states no ATM or cash back though.

If you purchase a gift card with a credit card at the credit union they run it as a cash advance. No Bueno.

THANK YOU!!! ^
Two GCs at $1005.90 x .01% = $10.06 CC bonus - $.69 MO = $9.37.
Two GCs cards at $1005.90 + $.69 MO = 1000 miles/points for $6.59.
$9.37 - $6.59 = $2.78 for pocket change.
Season to taste by comfort zone multiplicity.
Added bonus through April 19. Buy $100 Sears/JCP GCs, receive $10 Amex GC.
Disclaimer: Cannot confirm if Visa GC purchases post as CA or purchase as of date. (UPDATE: PURCHASE!)
