Mail-in rebate card/ gift card about to expire? Buy Amazon Reload with it.
So basically I bought a product that had a mail-in rebate (where usually you use to get a check. I got a rebate single use credit card, that had an expiration date of 3 months regardless of the remaining balance. Really?! They couldn't just cut a check and let me deposit it.. nope... It was a pain in the neck to get activated. And then they wouldn't let me withdraw it as cash at any ATM or transfer the funds. so yay (sarcastic yay) for the rebate.... After spending too much time of my life on this, I had to follow through and get all my money off this ________ card.<br /><br />I'm tenaciously stubborn, so I searched Amazon for some product that I could spend the entire balance on.  I came across Amazon Reload....<br /><br />Yes! I bought an Amazon Reload for the complete balance of the rebate card. Duh. I also I let out a wicked triumphant cackle because at this point I had to win and I won.<br /><br />Needless to say, mail in rebates with low rewards aren't worth the time, and I won't do it again.<br /><br />But thank you Amazon Reload for helping me claim the balance so I didn't have to worry about it expiring.
