I have 150 USD worth of American Express gift cards. my idea right now is to just use them for going out to eat and stuff, or grabbing coffee in the morning. any other ideas? (like maybe some secret way to consolidate them and use them to pay off my credit card? :))

Why don't you deposit into a poker site and request a check cash out?

heh put em into a forex market and then cash out a week later.

pretty funny, that what you are asking is very similar to "how do i launder money".

haha I was thinking about this today and wondering if doing something like this is illegal.

I was thinking that I could call American Express, have them put my name/address on the cards, use each of them to send a friend 25 bucks via PayPal, and have the friend PayPal me the money back. is this like money laundering or something? it's not like it's illegal money!

worth it since I got 40 dollars more in gift cards than I was charging for something in cash. I probably should have just taken the cash, haha.
