ULPT REQUEST. How do get money off a “no cash access” gift card.

Assuming it's a prepaid visa gift card... there's a few different ways. However, there's only 1 that has the same day turn around that doesn't try to take 15-25% of your balance. There's a few that don't charge much for the "transfer fee: but will take 1-5 days to see the money end up where you actually want it to be! Apple, deposit to an E-Bank like chime, few online places that will give yu around 90-95% of its value BUT... they gotta cut you a check and can easily take 5+ days b4 it's all said and done. Selling at the gas station and grocery stores will work with the right ppl but they gonna offer around $75 for every $100 +/-. There are also online stores that will buy it from yu and deposit the money into your bank, same day, but they too will waxx yu!(these probably the worst of the worst ppl lol). You used to be able to load the GC info on cash app and use it as a form of payment. Have a burner CA🤨😬, send to yourself n boom. But they've seem to have done away with that for good. It was spotty for a bit n won't hurt to try. Venmo has a mildly better chance of pulling that off. It does still work but they now have restrictions as to who can do it based off their accounts standinga/history.(not completely certain on this but something changed and every one can't do it now but I can as well as many others I know.) Again, won't hurt to try! Walgreens has a flaw in their system and will let yu pull $25 cash back! YES! Even from them bummy non-refundable, non-reloadable, and no cash value cards! They charge a light fee and will let yu get away with it a few times at once but they will stop yu if yu over do it. The only method I know of that doesn't tax yu an unreasonable amt, that don't take more than a few mins, and doesn't have any federal or state implications is pay pal! Better if you have existing acct. Make it a business acct. Now you can send an electronic invoice to ppl. Send 1 to a burner email. You can pay it thru the email without having too many requirements. They kinda got a litl "in house" thing going and it works perfect for turning GC into cash. Send a test amt 1st. Something light. Once or hits and everything is good you'll wanna take the remaining balance and break it into as minimal transactions as possible. If you send more than 4 or 5 to the same email using same card it might flag yu. But even them you're good. It just puts your next transaction on hold and make both accts(0⁷ you and the burner acct you) jump thru a hoop or two. This may take a day or two. I've only had it happen once compared to the several dozen times prior! Obvious they gonna take theirs off the top AND get yu if yu deposit from PP acct to bank but it's still <10% and even lesser if yu have a pp card! There used to be no info abt this becus those of us that did know didn't want yal finding out! But if you look hard enough you can now find step by step, in real time tutorial, as well as a few in depth break downs... but it's still not commonly known! Hell I scrolled thru here for a grip waiting to see it mentioned but here we are(I could have totally overlooked it if someone said it like "paypal invoice yourself" too)! TL;DR there's several way if you don't find yourself in a tight spot needing to get cash right away as close to $1:1 as possible! If not then paypal e-invoice yourself thru email. Make sure ⁰7 paypal acct is a business acct and keep it under $600 per invoice to slide under the fed radar.
