How do you do that on PayPal?

Most places can run multiple cards if you call... put stuff in your cart, then call and pay. I did that!

Sounds like money laundering...I would assume you need to find someone willing to trade for cash

Venmo or PayPal... or just call the place your ordering from and give them all of the GC#s and pay the balance out of pocket.

You can use up all your cards at the place you want to buy and then supplement the rest with cash

The Feds love money laundering 😈

Use all your Amex GCs to buy one new Amex GC, include the difference needed to buy your laptop... place it in online cart to get exact price. Buy GC for that amount, pay with that GC.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
