What can I buy with $1.51 on my VISA rebate card?

[Syringer]

I had a $50 AT&T promotion card that I've used all but $1.51 of left..what can I get with that?

Buy something more than $1.51 and tell them to simply charge the card $1.51.

I thought about that but I'd just feel really weird about telling them to charge just $1.51 on the card..I can see myself forgetting how much is left and tell them to charge $1.61 on there and be really embarrassed that a $1.61 charge didn't go through.

screw that. I keep a couple cards like that around for using online. If I am doing a trial offer that needs a CC, I use one of them. The sites usually just check to make sure that they can charge something ($1). That way if I forget to cancel, the site will do it for me.

Wouldn't it work like any other rebate/gift card? You charge what's left, then it prompts you to pay the remaining amount.

Is that what happens? The machine at the store would actually do that? I figure I'd just be denied for any purchase > $1.51.

That's how store specific ones work. I've never used a visa/amex one that lets you go anywhere you want.

Get a soda from the WaWa. You won't use every last penny, but that'll take care of most of it.

Tax puts it over =/

Plus they don't accept CC's at the food stand.

Just use it up on your next purchase and pay for the balance some other way. I do this all the time since I get prepaid VISA cards with rebates and always have a little bit left over. Most stores will do this automatically for you.

Seriously, with replies like that, please just STFU because you sound like an idiot.

Once I get down to a really low amount on my rebate cards, I write down the amount on a small piece of paper and tape it to the front of the card. That way I don't forget how much to charge on there. Actually, one time I did forget, and the cashier asked if that's how much she should put on the card.

If you don't do that, you'll probably wind up making a purchase that's close to $1.51 but not exactly that, and then you'll throw away the card even though it still has 20 cents on it or something like that.
