LOL. I use my left hand to hold the bottom of the card and with my right hand go straight across the top where the strip is and rip it out.

That's a bummer but no they weren't that smart - the tampering of those cards has nothing to do with price, these are just the older cards that were easy to successfully tamper and drain. The new 7.95+ ones have just come in are nearly impossible to tamper with and drain. The packaging and numbering has been enhanced and they require activating online or over the phone after purchase in order to work.

I just found out something interesting. Today was the 1st time that I called to activate the $7.95 Visa/MC gc on the same day that I purchased it. Instead of the normal $500 balance message, it said that the funds would be available in 20 minutes. That is exactly 1 hour after my purchase was made.

I've been seeing ineligible on my cashback site. I did bite the bullet and buy a 7.95er for under $500 TOTAL, ($475). We will see if it posts, says pending.
My one time I bought a $200 Wally card there, that came back inelgible on the cashback site |

The one hour delay for funds availability has been in effect for more than a year or two.
