OK - I am a little embarrased even asking this question.  But I just won a sales contest at work that netted my about $1000 in gift cards.  I have looked and looked and looked and there is no way to redeem them for cash value.  With a spare $1000 it would be great to use it towards my hobby.

Now, I don't want to be rude or insulting and ask, or show up with an envelope with gift cards in it.  I am not even sure that this would be an OK practice.  

Some providers have paypal associated to their websites, most don't.  What is the protocol here?  Am I SOL?  Thoughts?  

My apologies if this is a stupid question.  Thanks for any feedback you have.

Its definitely not a stupid question however my recommendation is to approach girls who you have already met in the hobby.  I know there is tons of fraud in the gift card arena so any new provider may not consider it.  Heck,  I gave someone a Best Buy card once, an old computer another time, and even gave a famous porn provider a post dated check.  In the end, it all depends on your relationship with the provider.  But remember, cash is as good as gold so I'd consider maybe providing a little higher gift via the cards to make it worth their while.

After all, TS Rachel from Chicago may not need a shovel from Home Depot just yet, right?

Re: Honest Question...you would ask too. )

Say, maybe Rachel needs a new donkey?  How about that!  A donkey should be worth at least one night's fun

'Course, down here, you can just drive by everybody's yard to see their appliances.

Seriously, I agree with the Dog--ask a provider with whom you already have an honest relationship.

I think it will depend on what stores the cards are for. If they are for VS, you may have hit the mother load, girls always like nice un-mentionables. Or, take them to a drug store or someplace that sells the cards and see if you can exchange for others. I have often picked up a number of VS cards which I use as tips. Brings a smile to the face of most young ladies. Good luck

...I don't want a "donkey", but you don't have to be hung like a "mule" to give me a ride on your "ass"...HEEHAW...dfk, Rachel

Thats a great idea about the cards, especially to Linger-ie storez.  I always like to do 69 with her panties on my head and they alwayz get stretched out.  I'll just slap a VS card on the table and tell her to go shopping  

Just being silly.  Its a great idea.
