$125

dom · **Posted:** Fri Dec 17, 2010 12:27 am

The game:

I got $125 in prepaid Visa. I didn't budget for this and all my bills (etc) are paid. I cannot withdraw cash on these types of cards. I need to buy something, and I want to buy something fun.

You suggest based on the following considerations:

-$125 includes a $4 transaction fee (I can't spend more than $121)
-The amount must include shipping
-Because of the transaction fee, I would rather spend all of it at the same place in one transaction
-I will not donate to charity/srf members

These cards have some limitations. I ordered a pizza today and the guy said I can't use these cards. From what I can tell, it's ok for online purchases, as written on the card.

What do?

Pretty nice man,

Um. Do you have something that you want, like a Genre of item? Or just anything under the sun?

Anything, with the exception of movies/tv shows/music.

It's my self-Christmas present.

Flip $100-$199 (????)

and if you really want something fun:

Spoiler!

You can probably just grab a bunch of items into the cart and do 1 checkout so you only get charged $4 once.

Assuming you made the picture your self, since $100 is on 1 card, and $25 on another, wouldn't it be $117 to spend?

What's the tax like where you live? It's a 1.09 for one here. Could only get like 113 of them. *When you take into account that there is a 1 dollar fee for using the card, and since there's two cards.*

So 123/1.09 = 113ish. I think. I'd have to actually do the calculation to be sure.
