Can you buy ANYTHING in CVS and get the 10.00 credit (example .99 hallmark card)?  Is there a limit to how many Green Dot cards we can buy? 

 

Here was my thought

Buy a Green Dot Card (put minimum about on card)

Purchase .99 hallmark card (or least expensive)

Recieve 10.00 credit

 

Repeat (green dot purchase) as many times and reach 30.00 purchase in hallmark cards and receive $10.00 gift card.

 

If that work it would be approx 150.00 MM  (on purchase of 30 green dot cards and 31 hallmark cards..)

I just read the fees

Not clear is the 5.95 monthly fee will apply if you use the entire card balance before a full monthly bill cycle?

The $5.95 is a monthly charge that will automatically get deducted from your acct. ea. month. They will prob. deduct it right away. You must put some kind of amount on the card to open it up.  Then use the card at CVS. They will then put a $10 credit on your card after your CVS Purchase, 10 days after.

The cards are tied to your addy so opening a ton of cards won't work. 1st card will be a new account. 2nd card will not be a new acct. and so on. It is only good for new accounts. 1 time

This deal is great if you want to open a Green Dot Card and your a New Acct. holder.

Based on your reply of the $5.95 being deducted right away, then Kathy's post of $5.05 profit would not work out to a profit.

The 5.95 fee is waived if you make 30 purchases in a month, so could you buy your 30 .99 Hallmark cards at CVS and get the $10 for using the card and the $10 for buying $30 worth of Hallmark and not have to pay the 5.95 fee??  (Actually you would need to buy 31 cards)

btw- First post ever and I LOVE this site…thank you so much everyone! Smile
