    Default Clearing out the remaining balance on gift cards

    So, got a few visa/mc gift cards... Of course now due to online retailers refusing to split / etc - there's always 5-10$ left on each of them...

    And leaving that for mastercard/visa to claim as a bonus, well that rubs my scottish side wrong.

    Whats a good way to offload that $ so it can be used?

    Any good online retailers that'll let you offload a bunch of 5-10$ gift cards to pay for something?

    I was half thinking of seeing if I can find the old card swipe for square and see if I can run through a bunch of payments...

    Can you buy amazon credit with them?

    EDIT: just tried and looks like you can reload your amazon balance with custom amounts right down to the penny. I'd do that personally.

    oh... get a gift card and reload it with whatever's left on the gift cards? Don't see amazon credit on my amazon dashboard.

    Yeah amazon credit is not the right word. I guess it's just "Amazon Gift Card" balance on your account.

    Go to Your Account>Gift cards>Reload your balance, then on the top right type in an amount under Other then hit Buy Now. Then pay for the gift card using the balance of your visa/MC GCs. Repeat for each.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Safeway or gas station is the easy way for mastercard or visa cards.

    That is what I do when I get them from rebates or whatever. Beats having to track how much is on them and I am always getting stuff on amazon anyways.
