Your friend has that many BB/Serve accounts to unload to each month?

80/5=16 cards and a super duper friendly wmt.
He is earning at most a 1.5%? after costs since there are no 5% cash back cards for mall purchases.

Agreed Meta is a newer provider for Simon, but they clearly know where and how majority of the Simon GC's are going.

They sure have different practices at different places. They still keep selling these gift cards despite majority of the high volume may be going towards MS with not much swipe fees and maybe not even much float given the quick liquidation.

He uses Barclays Arrival, Amex SPG and any min spend cards.
Has 3 BB's - uses exclusively to Bill Pay SPG.
Other cards go straight to WM BP his arrival and non-Amex min-spend cards. (2.2% gross). Any left over cards go to Money orders (less than 10k) spread across different banks not even enough in each back to trigger anything.

Of-course things have changed since WM BP is become non-existent in the region for MC/Visa payments.

With Arrival we consider any travel spend (not do-able with miles) as discounted travel at 40 cents on a dollar. (used to be 30 cents on a dollar when fee was 2.95). So imagine cruises at 60% off whatever best rate. Not a bad deal.

What, suddenly bb and serve are the only ways to liquidate? :rolleyes:

Wish my Simon mall had the Visa card variant.

I have 6 BB... would like to get more but the kate kiosk is always down, and loading in MC is a PITA as it's in the ghetto and you're constantly waiting for people to cash their 'disability' checks and paying ridiculous fees to load prepaid cards with cash.

I bought 4 Simon Mall gc yesterday, after I called and setup the pin; I went to Kate to load them to BB. I only successful loaded 2 out of 4. The two failed loads after multiple tries gave shown a same message "card not accepted".... has anyone encountered this before? Thanks!

When my Kate has gone over the 2k in 10 minutes, even my debit gets declined. Do you think that could've been it?

Why did you set up a PIN? The last four on the card is the default PIN

I was just at the Simon outlet. They are giving a free $25 off Tommy Hilfiger outlet voucher for every Simon Amex card (minimum load $50) . I got my usual Simon visa cards but threw in a couple of $50 Amex gc to get a couple Tommy Hilfiger $25 vouchers.

which SO is this?
I called mine and they said no such thing.

I don't think that was the case, caused when one of the two Cards, got rejected; I was able to use another Card and it worked.

Happy Holidays..

Thank you very much for tips, I didn't realize it before. I just read the Q&A again... Happy Holidays
