Trying to do some DIY sites but so far I only have an epassporte account and no offers seem to take it anymore. I have heard a few people using credit card gift cards so I was thinking of doing this. However, I know you can get one of these cards just about anywhere, but I was wondering if you had to get them at your bank so they were linked to your home and correct addresses. Otherwise if you buy it just anywhere it doesn't have that info, just your name and number and I wasn't sure that was enough to complete offers.

I don't have any experience with gift cards, but some offers won't even take my Citi virtual credit cards, and they're real credit cards with my billing address and everything. It probably depends on the offers, but I'd assume a lot of them wouldn't accept a CC that doesn't have your billing address on it.

go to visa.com and click on the gift card section, you can search for stores selling them. there is a $4 activation fee though.

Simon Mall Visas work with like AOL, Rhapsody, basically any offer that doesn't ship. When you get to such offers like Earthlink Dial-Up/Highspeed and Southbeach, then they start requiring a real debit or credit card because they ship stuff (not southbeach though, no clue why they wouldn't accept my simon visa gc, prob didn't have the 65$ on it). Anyway, I suggest doing the Incentive Reward Center Clever Scooter, currently the least amount of offers for the beat payout on that network. It took me a week to finish all the offers and I'm expecting an 800$ scooter at my house in the next two weeks. Good luck and I hope this helped!

You can buy a gift card at the mall for a 20 buck minimum and u can use that on all offers unless they say that debit cards are not accepted. You have to activate your card online with [i4b74f0ede3]an[/i4b74f0ede3] address and name however.

Simon Mall Visas will not work with offers such as Southbeach, Work From Home, or Earthlink.

I also did the scooter site today, I just need 2 more offers to credit. Hopefully i'll get a 800 dollar check too.

Pious, I think if you sign up right now, they require u to do 8 offers now. Im not sure though.
