I got a couple of prepaid gift cards for Christmas. Does anyone know of any coin sites where I could use them or should I just take them to the local B&M?

You should be able to use them with anyone that accepts Paypal .

There are sites where you can trade or sell them. I don't know them, but you could search.

I actually had a problem with one last night on PayPal. I entered it as one of the choices "Pre Paid Gift Card" and it seemed to load on properly showing the amount of the card. The
amount did not pop up on the balance so I figured it would come off the card as I use it. It was only for $50. So I buy a coin that was about $200 and figured I'd use the card and
the balance would come out of my bank account. After selecting the card as payment I repeatedly got an error code. What I think happened is PayPal only wants you to use a single
payment method, so I can probably use the card on items less than $50. That's just a guess.

Spend in place of cash

Use regular CC for gifts

Just used one on ebay a week ago but when I tried to spend it/add it to my pay pal account it wouldn't go through( error message) so what I had
to do was call the 800 number on the back of the card and have them add your address to the gift card so pay pal can except it.

Once you update it with an address go to your pay pal click the wallet tab then click add a card enter all the info (card numbers) and you should be good to go.

Pay pal walked me through the process on the phone

If you get an error message pay pal will NOT except it as a payment without an address attached to the card.

Hope this helps

Happy new year
