- These VISA gifts cards can be a pain to redeem if you don't know the exact amount or if you need to split the transactions between two cards. I recently tried to convert them to cash, and this is what came of it! #short

This is also how you liquidate credit cards. You buy the gift card with the credit card, then deposit the money order into your bank. You’re welcome!
@@alvinstewart7196 paypal works too
@@alvinstewart7196 Not sure, but it always works there.
You act like you told us something that people haven't been doing for years honey please
@@billionairestatus539 well some people didn’t know, no need for attitude
Not working with PayPal and Cash app smh
Works only with the pin. Call the number on the back. Go through all the options after verifying the balance. You will get the option for the pin.
Just tried this today my Walmart charged 1$ dollar which is not bad at all. Thank you!!
do you make the money order to yourself?
@@FateGhostyyes
Gift cards are pretty dump. Just give people cash instead. You avoid paying fees, and you also avoid throwing away plastic into the landfill.
@Orange300 they arent activated until someone purchases them, that's impossible
@@realstormzyy and what makes you think THEY won’t activate them?
@@flacortw you need to buy them to activate them, the only way for them to be activated is if someone purchases one, and it goes through as successful, otherwise it will be useless.
@@realstormzyy yea scammers can activate them like a cashier would or they could just take ur money after u bought urs
@@flacortw the cashier does not activate them, the company auto activates them when a purchase is successful
I just did this today and worked perfectly! Thank you sooo much.
Don't tell the cashier just act like you're paying with your debit and run it as debit set up a pin it works for me all the time
How do you set up a pin for the card ? Is that on the instructions once you purchase ?
Where do you go?
@@mishavaughn873 Thanks!
Who do you make the money order to?
@@zestyclose_village68 I had my Mom make it out to me from her.
This does work, I’ve done it dozens of times.. it’s annoying though please just give cash on Christmas thanks
That is Brilliant!! Thank you!!
THANK JESUS THANKS FOR HELPING ME ON WHAT TO DO WITH A GIFT CARD LIKE THIS
Just did this at a Publix. Worked like a charm. I selected debit and used the last 4 digits as the pin.
Hi, what four digits are you speaking of ? the last four on the card?
@@gurl1128yup
@@gurl1128the pin. When you use those prepaid cards you need to set a PIN code. You can do it by calling the number on the back or just putting one in the first time you use it
this works great thank you !
You are very welcome!
Where did you buy giftcard from?
Was under the impression it is a requirement for cash to be used to purchase a money order
No I use to get money orders a lot with these cards.
@MrsBrown-rs2hh How much did you get everytime?
Debit card is considered cash
Dont throw away ur $ on vanilla. Its not honored anywhere. Temu wont even accept it for 44 cent tennis shoes!
It works!!! I did it
If you have a Walmart credit card, you can make a pymt to your credit card in store as well with these gift cards.
please can you buy a gift card for me i would pay extra through paypal , its coz i cant do that here in ethiopia, i would send you the money first then send the gift card after you confirmed that you recieved it
The Walmart credit card from capital one?
Thanks hun, I bout a 500$ one for eBay and eBay done accept them,,,, I’m starting to wonder why they exist still when 40% of online stores don’t accept
And this is why people should just give cash cuz think about all of the headaches that it requires to do all of this and then it cost them $6 to buy the gift card. For $50. Then it cost you $0.88 to $3 to be able to get cash from it. Plus now that it cost $5 a gallon for gas you're probably spending at least $5 in gas getting to the Walmart. So it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $70 for you to have 48.
It don’t work
😂
Just deposit it into your bank account
Exactly 💯 so many businesses and or programs give money in this form. Its SO DIFFICULT to use it beyond unnecessary stuff on amazon
@@dogguy8603you cant do that wit gift cards. maybe a prepaid card, but not a gift card.
Someone paid 4.95 purchase fee and you paid .88 money order fee y’all just lost 5.83 and cost a trip to Walmart. 😆 just give cash people.
Just did it today, def best method it works with vanilla cards too just use the last 4 as pin
That was my next question. Thank you
Omgosh yes!! Thank you for this method!! So needed this.
do i need to register it at their website to be able to use it?
Thanks!
I was hoping this would work😃
Thanks again
Whooooaaa thanks for the tip that's great. Very smart lady 🧠🧠
Hello Sir, tell me this, if I deduct this new denomination then I first put money in it. I do that. After that I can withdraw money again in this card
Thank You!😊

Can you purchase a Visa Netsped gift card(s) using your checking and routing numbers from the bank ?
Hawthorn was one of my favourite videos on the channel
Omg tysm I’m gonna do this
Did it work
Thank you
Great idea
Yes it works just tried it and i got the money order
What card did you buy
As of AUG 2023, this did not work at Walmart. It did work at USPS however.
As of SEPT. 2023 @walmart it worked for Me 🤷🏾♀️💯
@@Dria_Kemp07 Which card and for how much? I tried Walmart 6 times and it wouldn't authorize the transaction.
I did the same thing at Walmart but it wouldn't work. I don't know, maybe the cashier wasn't ringing it up correctly.@@yuriy6641
Does this still work?
How exactly did you find the Visa gift card difficult to use, though, when it's accepted everywhere?
It’s not always accepted everywhere. I get them to pay my home insurance while not paying my credit cards at the moment (can’t rn) and out of nowhere now it won’t allow me to do it o line OR by phone. And don’t expect customer service. There’s no freaking options to speak to a human. And to report a problem, there’s only 2-3 problems to choose from. If you don’t have any of those select o es, there’s no “other” option. The ones scamming are VISA itself!!
Wow! Thanks :)
You’re welcome!
I’m on disability and can’t get a 9 to 5 job so my local food pantry told me that I can volunteer and they would pay me in gift cards that they get from the other volunteers who donate. I hope this actually works because then I would be able to go to Walmart and get a little bit of cash in my pocket.
Did it work?
Gift card is not Visa card 😆
@@MM-ty6cu yes you can take the gift card to Walmart a purchase a money order and cash the check at the bank
Just buy a store gift card for a store you know you'll be going to. Or a gas station gift card. You dont have to worry about being over or under because you can hold it for next time and pay the overage with another payment. You also dont have to worry about the fees in case you hold the Visa gift card for too long.
Terrible advice tbh. Not only are there issues with scammers getting access to cards before you load them up, but the place you buy a card from might not activate the card properly and then keep the money, or the gas station you buy a card for might require you to do prepaid and not allow you to pay after pumping with them.
@creativityfails1 I have never had those issues. Whenever I get one of these from work, I use it towards my most common used expenses so I'll end up going through it quickly. That way you're not sitting on it long to allow for some of that stuff to happen.
Sure it's possible for the things you're saying, but it's also possible for someone to skim the Visa card info or the walmart employee to enforce the rule that you can't use Visa gift cards for money orders.
Today it Worked for me
Thank u SM for ur help ! 😀
Update ***
Doesn’t work anymore !! 😫 anyone have any other solutions
You tried it a second time??? Lol
Yea the Walmart in my county does not do this. You can’t purchase a money order with a gc.

Wat about for digital gift cards?
How do i buy a money order if a have a virtual visa online card only i dont have the physical card on me i have it online only😥😥?? How must i go about this??
Same
does not work anymore. i just tried at two different walmarts and wouldn't work.
Credit or debit?
What if you have $50.00 on initial balance
So smart
Does dis still work?
How about if u have a virtual visa online card?
Target has Apple Pay at self checkout
Will the irs find out
Did you use it as a debit or credit at checkout?
Card to cash available here
Good thing Walmart was a good help for you
How are they heard to use it's easy
i just put money on a chime card and give it as a gift card to another person and at the end they just give it back to me
Question if I buy one could It be like my card my real card like can I buy anything ?
Only store purchases. Nothing online, or atms.
WOOO I CAN DO COMMISSIONS!!!
Does this still work
Can you get it on cash ??
I just tried it at Walmart and I didn’t tell them I was using a Visa gift card put my pin number in and it was declined for $100. So what I ended up doing was my daughters father has a store he’s been in business for 17 years I just take my cards and I swipe them on the credit card machine and just have him give me the cash.
If it was only 100 on the card it wouldn’t go through because they charge for the transaction
@kingreko1780 exactly my thoughts. You have to do the math and it will be a odd number. I have $100 vanilla gift that I will try tomorrow am. Will let ya guys know. They charge $1 for the money order, therefore I will be only geting a $99 money order.
Did it work?
Would it still work if you bought it at Walgreens n went to Walmart with it???
Yes
I tried it but it didn't work for me
Can I use for bobux?
This just saved my life you have no idea

Mine dont work
Shits 4 real it works
can i use your card in africa for 4ukey app
Can’t you just get an atm?
No because they are encoded with a 122 service code and they have no access to any withdrawal
Is there like … a limit with this method? Would i be able to get like $5000 with multiplie prepaid cards/ transactions ?
if u scamming just go to 10 walmarts bro 😭
Ebay are no longer accepting Vanilla Gift cards only Amazon and Walmart but for how long? For safety vanilla should allow us to register the card to our name and address so that when buying something online is acceptable.

Don't do it often, they'll shut your bank account
Yeah because that’s the way scammers scam. Load gift cards up to the max with cash and then get a money order for it
@@WearingADownPaymenttalk to me. What does that do? What's the scheme?
Can you do a big ammount at once? Possibly 900 im talking
what bank account? How would they possibly know what account you have, and which one of your accounts to shut down?
@@soulchorea Where do you think the money order is going? Genuine question
Omg this didn’t work for us any tips?
I’m not sure what didn’t work for you, but someone mentioned that you may need to run it through as a debit & the last 4 digits of the card are your pin. Hope that works!
It has to be a Visa with a pin feature.

Just try it and it didn’t work
I tried to pay in the store with this card, but I could not, I need a pin code. How can I find out the PIN code of this gift card?
You have to call the number on the back of the card create and register a PIN number
@@bravoskylark4224no you don’t, you make your pin on your first purchase. On your first use of the card you type any 4 digits you want to use for the card and that’s now your pin
It’s on the packaging and the back of the card, read
But then what’s the point of buying it? 😢
You don't buy them for yourself. Someone gives it to you as a gift but you decide you would like the cash instead. Maybe you're going somewhere that don't take gift cards like a casino or the weed spot.
They longer do this. I have tried 2 separate ones and they won’t issue it
Do you tell them your paying with a gift card? If so don’t
@@benjamingarcia1072 and use the last 4 as the pin? I read this in another comment
@@krystalrodriguez5010 have you tried?
Can I use like Venmo and PayPal?
Didn’t work for me, maybe I needed to register the card

This don’t work I went there and they told me I had to put in a pin
The pin is the last four digits of your card.
You can also register your gift card and add a pin
visa
Does not work
On bro I’m in Walmart rn cuddy been tried nd shi🙄
When I tried this, the card reader at WalMart asked me for a pin #. Obviously I don’t have a pin # with a visa gift card. Any suggestions on this?
Hi Jake! It has been a while since I did this but I believe I charged it as credit, not debit. Some readers might automatically run it as debit, but you usually just have to either push a "credit" button or the red "cancel" button. The cashier should be able to point you in the right direction to make it run as a credit.
@@FamilyandFI thank you! I’ll try this 🙏🏼
Your pin is the last 4 digits of your prepaid card you welcome
Sometimes you have to call the number on the card to establish a pin. You make one then you can use the card with no issues.
Right hand drive in India
No longer works

What method could be used for a virtual visa/master gift card?
You could upload it to your PayPal account and send the money to someone who will give it to back to you.
@@FamilyandFI yes I was suggested the same. But I heard paypal method is redundant . Would u be able to confirm?
