Crazy Gift Card Question

[hmcfall711]

Can a Sam's Shopping Card/ Walmart gift card be use to purchase a Visa gift card or any of the gift cards they sell in the tower of gift cards near check out?

Doubtful. Most stores will not allow you to use a gift card to purchase another gift card.

OT, but I just saw your ticker. We're going to WDW on the same day!

At Eckerd (now RiteAid) I was able to do this. I am not sure about Walmart though.

I was told at WalMart that you could only use debit or cash to purchase the Visa/MC/Amex logo gift cards. I was using a debit card anyway but the cashier said she was supposed to tell everyone that had one to buy.

I've done it before at Old navy, it should say on the back of the card if you can't. I don't see why you couldn't.

I know at Target you can use a Target gift card to purchase an iTunes gift card. I'm going to guess yes.

I think it depends on the store and what you are trying to buy with it. The only real way to know it to ask.

Last year I got a Visa GC from my boss and used it t buy Disney Dollars but I couldn't use it to buy a Disney GC .

OTH - I'm wondering if you could use a merchandise credit to buy a GC.

You can't do it at CVS. I tried to buy an Itunes card with a CVS card, and was unable to do so.

Visa GC= Yes
Store GC = No, or not likely.

Stores give away GC as promo's all the time ($20 Target w/purchase and such) and it costs the store less than $20 when you spend it on merchandise. Those GC racks have 3%-5% commissions so it "costs" the store more if you spend your GC on that. So most stores do not allow it, although it has to be policed by the cashier so YMMV. Clear as mud?

I get $25 from Rite Aid for prescription transfers and buy Amazon.com GC straight up, no problem.

I work at Walmart and you can't use it to but an AMEX/Visa gift card. Those do have to be paid with cash or debit cards. However, you can use it to buy dining or itunes gift cards. I hope that helps.

My DS just used a Best Buy card to get an itunes card.

You can get iTunes Gift Cards from dfwbid.com

Sorry to go off on a tangent... I just got one the other day and the pharmacist wrote "RX" on the front of it with a sharpie pen... did they do that to yours? I really don't shop at Rite Aid that much, but of course I am not going to pass up a free $25 card! What ticks me off is I had a 2nd transfer, but since it is Percocet (for disc surgery) it 'requires authorization' and counted as a new Rx and not as a transfer. Bummer!
