ditto. I was also able to change from a VISA prepaid to a check as my rebate.
I was able to request a $15 check. $200 Visa gift cards were still there, got one and unloaded it via AP. Also got some Hammermill Paper FAR in store.

Also you can get out via AP.
@ Jivepicnic/Sweetsavage77, you can’t load a Visa/MC gift card to WF debit card. I tried and it won’t register. Only way to get money out of Visa/MC gift card is through Amex Target. But there are fees associated with this method.
FM: The ad says limit of 1 rebate per household. Does that mean, we are entitled to get ONLY One 15$ GC with the purchase of a 150+ VIsa GC? Last time there was a limit of 10, something. I cannot find such limit this time. Any help please?
@Sweetsavage77: Good question about buying the Visa/MC gift cards and loading the WF debit card. I load it online, and I think I had to enter the billing address for my credit card, so it may not work with a gift card. I guess it may be worth a try in your case. I know that Chase and Cap1 definitely give points for loading the WF debit card online.
@Sweetsavage77: Target does! 🙂
I am new to this lifestyle choice 🙂 and when they sent me an offer for 75,000 miles on the Amex business card I got so excited I about S£~%~T myself, I couldn’t sign up fast enough. I have learned the hard way since NOBODY accepts American Express. Lol.
@ Marshall, does applying for the WF card give you a hit on your credit or is it different with a debit card? Thanks
@jivepicnic and/or @Marshall could you use an Amex to buy a Visa/Master card gift card and load the WF card?
Since the gift cards do not have my address, I cannot add those as a funding source to load onto Bluebird as the addresses do not match. Unless I miss out on something, I believe this is the case.
@Sweetsavage77…You cannot use an AMEX to load the Wells Fargo debit; it’s Visa or MC only. I use my Cap1 Venture Card each month with $2500. They charge me a fee of $5 for the load plus the $3 fee per month for keeping the card open. I get $50 in travel credit back, so I end up making $42 back each month when pay my mortgage and other bills that don’t normally take a credit card. I also get some cash back at grocery stores and redeposit it in my bank account. It’s not super lucrative, but it works for me.
Ha: I believe that you’ll have to fill out a rebate form (online) and they’ll send it. We’ll find out more on Sunday.
Jon Chan: bluebird has an option online for loading from debit card $100 at a time with a $2 fee. I don’t remember the exact steps.
Can you briefly tell us how to load the cards to Bluebird? Thank you.
