Is there any way possible to get cash off a gift card?
Is there any way possible to get cash off a gift card? I recently received a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Visa rewards card and would like to get cash from it to deposit into my bank account so I can utilize it for bills. Actually, yes, there is. As long as the gift card has a Visa/Mastercard/Discover logo on it, it's really easy. All that's required is for you to have access to two separate Paypal accounts - one of which should be verified and linked to your bank. If you've got that, then you're all good to go. If you've only got one account, maybe ask a friend to help out. What you want to do is create a new transaction using the send money to a friend option. Once you've got that going, then simply enter your own information as the recipient and fund the transfer using your gift card. As soon as the money shows up in your verified account, you'll then be free to withdraw it directly into your bank or spend it via your Paypal debit card if you have one.
