Google Wallet Question
Can you use Google Wallet to do the following transaction

1. Load visa giftcard onto account A
2. Send money from visa gifcard to account B (No fees)
3. Send money from account B back to account A

Will this get me shutdown?

I haven't seen this discussed.

Can you do A-->B

And then have Account B spend the money using their google wallet debit card? So no cash withdrawals

Do it in any volume (even using "B's" debit card for "purchases") and you'll get closed and your money locked up for 30+ days. If this is also an account that you use on Google Play you will also lose your ability to make purchases there.

Thx. I will avoid this then. Are you able to safely save multiple giftcards as a source of funding on one account and just use the google debit card? Kind of like combining the gift cards into the google debit card

That gravy train ended quite a while ago. Used to be very useful when they started out. Now, not so much. Move on.
