  • Although this Simon card doesn't interest me, it's encouraging to see they're trying new things.

    Expand on this idea, there are possibilities.

    What if there were a reloadable gift card, that we could reload from a web portal?
    And it has been suggested that Simon could start selling money orders... One stop shopping.

    Hey, a guy can dream...

    • "reload from a web portal"
      An inconspicuous portal that sells high-priced items OTHER than gift cards. Site shouldn't have "gift card" in the name.

    • The problem with that is the interchange fee is where the $$ is lost -- SM would pay like $12 to process your MO purchase

    • Absolutely agree with you.
      I wonder what kinds of criminals will go to Walmart to liquidate GC. I was almost treated like or suspected as one when I tried to liquidate two $500 GC.
      Other than inside jobs, I am not able to see how the fraud can be carried out repeatedly and widely.
