Guys, you just have to go and try. That is part of the game. Someone would of report it if it was cash advance. Secondly, set cash advance limits and try small.
Go visit the malls, support economy, buy a gift card.
Thank you to the posters here and the op for the tip.

Thx for the info.
They sell Amex and Visa gift cards. I purchased the US Bank Visa and unloaded via Evolve with no issues. About to do BB at WM today, but don't expect any issues. You can also buy them online in bulk, but I’m hesitant to fill out the form and give that much info.
It’s coded on my Citi bill as transaction type 2:
04/05/2014 XXXXX MALL 4820 LOCATION 502.95
Merchant Category: MISCELLANEOUS / SPECIALTY RETAIL STORES
Person: XXXXXXX
And for Amex:
XXXXXX MALL 4820 PERSON $502.95
Doing business as:
XXXXXX MALL 4820
ATTN MALL MNGMNT OFFICE

Called my local Simon Mall in NJ and they said they only sell Visa gift cards to Businesses, but you can buy the Amex ones for $2.95. Anyone had this issue? Obviously I want the Visa and not the Amex one. This was guest services though - is the info kiosk any different, or are they both the same thing?

Did you buy these at the mall or did you order it online from their website?

I don't understand. I was informed that they do not sell Visas in CT at a local office, and they prohibit the purchase online. Can you explain a workaround?
