I normally would attached the receipt that proved it is activated for the amount stated in the card. And of course there is a number they can call to verify if they wanna go thru that. But, mostly, the receipt will do with some provider.
1. The only way to verify that the card is good is to check online. You expect the lady to take the time before an appointment to verify that information? Is this the day that she brought her laptop to the out-call? Can her smart phone access the website properly? Is the 10-20 minutes (or longer) going to count against your time?
2. It is not uncommon for those cards to have excessive usage fees. Some cards charge $0.50 every time it is used and lose up to $5/month until exhausted. That info is in the fine print on the website. I had a $200 Visa gift card that I only got $180 out of over 2 months. If a lady accepts a card she maybe working at a discount without knowing.
3. Why risk being blacklisted? Even if you have the best of intentions and gave her a legit card with a receipt, if ANYTHING goes wrong with that card she is going to interpret this as being shorted or robbed.
Save those gift cards you get from the company Holiday party for other purposes. Or if you do give them present them as a gratuity.
Actually, it does not create a papertrail, when monthly statement comes in it only show how much you purchase from the stores, no details, but when you get cash back, it will show the amount of cash back you've taken, and that is for the commander to see on her monthly audit. So, the processing fee offsets the wrath of the commander and you know what ...
After establishing a relationship with a lady, she might be willing to accept pre-paid giftcards.
But as someone said before, how is it easier than cash? You have to purchase it with cash and pay a processing fee. Seems like more than necessary. Plus it creates a papertrail for you and her.
Here's an alternative. I had a gentleman who waited to pay with a card, so I had him purchase several things online for me with a pre-paid card - yet all this was done prior to our meeting.
I have accepted them a few times with NO problem. I was given the receipt activation codes, and could check right away to make sure they were good, all in a matter of a few quick minutes. Easy peasy.
I always ask my friends to use gift cards for deposits or the entire gift~ super easy!
You can pick them up at most 7/11's- grocery stores- pharmacies- etc. A great online one: www.giftcards.com but for online one's you need the ladies info!
If the lady doesn't trust the correct balance is on the gift card when you meet~ then you should worry about the quality of lady you have chosen to spend your time with~ wink.
