What Is Money Stream?
Money Stream is owned by H&R block, it looks at your bills & income and will send you reminders when bills are due. There is no cost to use this service.
What Is Tango?
Tango is a website that lets you exchange your Tango gift card for a variety of other gift cards without loosing any value. You can’t sell Tango gift cards for cash directly, but you can easily exchange your Tango gift card for something else and sell that for cash instead. You should be able to get 90% of face value doing this or $22.5, redeeming for a Target gift card will be your best bet if you want to take this course of action.
If you’re not familiar with reselling gift cards, I can strongly recommend you read this post first.
Our Verdict
Given the industry H&R Block typically operates in, I feel comfortable giving them access to my account (especially a checking account that I don’t really use). I’ll probably just exchange my Tango gift card for something I’d actually use, but reselling for $22.5 wouldn’t be such a bad option either.
