lol, I was thinking about this for a while today. I have recently got a $250 Visa giftcert from christmas, and I'd honestly rather put this money in the bank instead of spending it. As far as I know you can't straight charge a credit/debit/gift card and send the money to your bank, but here's what I was thinking...
I've set up a Google Checkout (I dunno if anyone here has any experience with them) account and linked it to my bank account. Would it be possible to charge that card $250 thru Google Checkout (aka charging myself) to have it sent straight to my bank account?
I can't see anything wrong with this plan, plus Google is offering free processing fees from now till 2008, so I would get the full $250. Any problems with this?

Sounds like it would work. Good luck

Usually the processing fee is not the only fee involved with running a credit card. I think it would be easier to use the card to pay bills, which is probably what will end up with the money in your account anyway.

Does the Visa gift card have your name on it? If not, you could sell it on eBay to close to the full $250.
