I brought in a group of cards to my Credit Union so they could try to cash them for me with the following results:
*Staples Rebates VISA Debit Card (Issued by Metabank) Silver Metalic VISA "Rebate Card" (from Staples rebates), first four numbers 4754 These cards can be cashed out doing a VISA Cash Advance (I just deposit them direct to my checking acct). <From Threeuncle> For Staples rebate card: 1. Wait for the rebate card to arrive 2. Call 866-496-6189, pressing 0-0-tracking number-4-2 to get customer service 3. Request a check replacing the rebate visa card *Norton/Symantec VISA Debit Card (Issued by Metabank) Yellow/Gold "Norton from Symantec" VISA, First four numbers 4754 Also McAfee Rebate cards, first four 4754 *Update* These cards can be cashed out doing a VISA Cash Advance Discover Branded Rebate Cards Green "Goods Cards" by Discover, 6011 My Credit Union can not do cash advances from Discover Network, they only have the manual CC machine for VISA/MC Citi debit Visa Cards (like the Dodge Test Drive GCs) First Four numbers 4074 Cash Advance Not Allowed - Unauthorized Transaction SanDisk Rebate VISA Debit Card (Issued by Metabank) Grey VISA "SanDisk store your world in ours", first four numbers 4634 Cash Advance Not Allowed - Unauthorized Transaction Lowes Delivery Rebate Cards (Metabank issued), First Four numbers 4634 Cash Advance Not Allowed - Unauthorized Transaction *Note* For doing VISA cash advances from rebate cards - The bank teller has to use the CC machine with the keypad on it. It takes a lot of keypad inputs to put the charge through as a VISA cash advance, if they just slide the card through and enter an amount it will not be approved. If anyone has any other verified success or failures with other Rebate Cards for cashing them out please post so we can figure out some of the easiest strategies for getting these converted back to cash. On a side note, the cash registers at CVS are able to authorize just the remaining balance on the SanDisk cards swiped as "Credit" without any customer input. I was able to use up the small balances on two of them tonight without having to know what funds were still available on them. (I did check when I got home and it had authorized the correct amount remaining). Updated 4/23/09 to add that Norton VISA rebate cards can be cashed out using VISA Cash Advance. Updated 11/9/09 added Citi issued Dodge Rebate card and Lowes delivery rebate card. This post has been edited by WingsOverVA: 11-9-09, 11:20pm |
