Manufactured Spending Weekly Thread - Week of August 26, 2017

Well, tried MSing for the first time, and it went mostly well. Got a Meta VGC at Safeway, was waiting in line and the cashier at the customer service desk saw I had a gift card and invited me over to buy it there, I was nervous that she was going to say no CCs, but she actually asked if I was "playing the miles game" and "why I was only getting one". I said yes, first time doing this so I was taking it slow. She said good luck.

Tried to liquidate at 2 Walmarts, both asked for ID and said Moneygram required that the name on my debit card matched the name on my DL. The first one, I just said, oh thanks anyway and walked away. The second one I tried to switch out my debit card and got caught, so walked away again. Was about to give up for the day and stopped by a Walmart Neighborhood Market, no problem there. The guy even asked me if I had more than one gift card. Think I will try to PO route next time and see if that works better, just happened to be near some Walmarts today so figured I'd try.
