I made my first GC purchase last week for 1k. When filling out the form, it asks what the purpose of the cards is for. I naturally wrote "gift."
Does anyone write in something else when making large purchases in the 5-10k range?
Do you need to fill out a form for every purchase?

CRNA's answer "yes" is technically incorrect. Now if its enforced and which malls enforce it are other questions.... How they do it and which DFW malls do I won't say as I've been trolled for posting facts from DFW sources for the benefit of the board before.....

Regarding purpose of cards, in my area, there's a person known for buying gift cards and using those instead of credit so that he can avoid identity theft. That's also a possibility.

Spent two weeks in PA area. Bought $17000 over five visits using four different CCs.
Several WMs and Giants were zero but after doing the rounds of several of these stores was able to load BB and get MOs.
Will continue this at a slower pace as the WMs are so hit or miss ! At several they want to see the " bank debit card with your name before starting to create a MO.
Hope someone has figured out how to improve my batting average.

At the Simon Mall I go to, they treat known buyers well. I order early in the day and the manager has it ready for me to pick up when I come by. She actually prefers it this way. She puts the GCs in a bag along with a bottled water and mints.

Don't mean to be all cheesy and stuff, but....
I'm relatively new to the MS game, but 2 months in and I am forever in debt to this forum. I have learned a ton that I wouldn't have otherwise lurking around here. The SM guy already knows me now. They are never out of GCs when I arrive around 8pm regardless of the day of the week. I still haven't had to fill out a form (although since I'm new I still keep it small with a couple thousand per visit). Just down the road where I reload my Serve at Walmart, I already have a favorite checkout person who never gives me grief and always works evenings. That nice lady at WM always working evenings already recognizes me and always smiles when she sees me, and it's only a bonus that it's a neighborhood walmart (short lines or no lines at all) instead of one of those awful full size walmarts.
Thanks flyertalk!

Went to my SM for the second time today, and the CSR recognized me from last week.
I bumped up my purchase from 1k to 3k today. That's enough to pay off my Ink+ min spend for bonus. In the process, I asked if they do a lot of GC sales. He said some guy was in not long before me and bought 9k.
Time to step it up.^

I'll talk to the CSR next week when I go and set up an arrangement like that. When I went yesterday, he was sort of low on card count. I'd hate to go all the way over there for 10k or more and have them only enough cards for 3.
Thanks.
Thanks.
