The first, an old familiar, is that you can still get fee free physical Visa Gift Cards at <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/vanillagift.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vanillagift.com<\/a> using promo code <em>FLASH2020<\/em>. You\u2019ll pay $8.95 for shipping, even if you order $10,000 worth of cards. These cards don\u2019t work well at Walmart but they work well most everywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>The second is that <a aria-label=\"Staples is offering fee free $100  (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.staples.com\/mastercard-100-gift-card\/product_2473138\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Staples is offering fee free $100<\/a> MasterCard Gift Cards, limit 2. These are sold by Staples directly, so use a Chase Ink card or an American Express Business Platinum with the +4x office supplies offer. Fun side note and a random hint: Staples shut me down in 2014 because they didn\u2019t like me buying a couple hundred hard drives a week for two months. Fortunately for me and for people like me (you), you can always get yourself back online with address, phone, and\/or name variations. Different checkout methods work too. Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Third, you can still get two <a aria-label=\"Ting SIM cards for $0.99 (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/ting-mobile-30-sim-card-kit\/6406986.p?skuId=6406986\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ting SIM cards for $0.99<\/a> each at Best Buy. I\u2019ve been able to get an order in every few days. You can still parlay each of these into <a aria-label=\"~$100 at Visible (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/25\/a-tale-of-two-deals\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">~$100 at Visible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And finally there\u2019s a bit of bad news: apparently Walmart Money Order fees are going up from $0.88 to $1.00 today.
