OP....the title of this thread is misleading. USB MCGCs have been around for a long time. Not sure why this is a big deal in the first place. BTW, USB MCGCs did NOT just get PINs available. PINs have been available on these MCGCs for a long time. You probably just figured it out right now.

I was wondering about this whole thread....

I only started this end of last year and I know the MCGCs have pins!

Just for reference...pins were required by law starting April 1, 2013 (not an April Fool's Day joke). They may have started before that, but they have been required since then.

I've been finding about 50% success rate with Kate recently when it comes to loading, but absolutely 0% success rate when it comes to finding Kates that will put out (MO's).

Why would anyone buy GCs at Buy Buy Baby? Is there a category bonus for baby supplies?

1. Purchase TRU/BRU gift cards at Staples using Chase Ink card.
2. Purchase VGC or other 3rd party GC's at TRU/BRU using the the TRU/BRU gift cards.
3. Profit.

You do understand buy buy baby is not babies r us right? Not to mention, they are talking about $200 cards at that store, even if there were gift cards for it at staples, it would completely defeat the purpose as you could just buy the $200 gift cards at staples instead.
