Yes, you can add it to any Amazon account you want but it won't extend what you already have only replace it.  He's just adding you on HIS account (or someone's account he has) as a "family member."  When you have Prime you can add 4 family members at no charge.  All they get is the free 2 day shipping and no other prime features.  If he sells 4 family members at $25 each his $99 PRIME with all the features is free.  

Nothing wrong with doing that as long as you know the limitations.  You just need to make sure the seller doesn't disappear, drop you off his PRIME then go and resell it again elsewhere but from his "trust" he seems quite safe.

Only California, at least according to ncsl.org linked above.  Every state's law is listed on that site and anyone can check their own state for themselves.

Goodness, such anger!  Look at all the free bumps your getting. You should be thanking all us "fucking morons" & "high school dumbasses."  We get to raise our post count (and so do you) and we get entertained by your comments and you get free bumps for your thread.

If you live near NYC you should check this out (but they are available nationwide):  http://ask.metafilter.com/176929/Freecheap-anger-management-groups-in-New-York-City

  You can post all the negs you want. Get some of your ALTS to post them as well. I NEVER sell anything here so it means nothing to me.  But I'll give you one back just because your so cool.

LOL, you're a cool guy.  I love it.  All the ad hominem attacks (check dictionary.com if that word is too big for you) only shows you for what you really are, probably some 17yr old teenager sitting home without a friend.  You have STILL PROVEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING just that you know how to throw around insults.  Your preaching to the wrong crowd here.,  Since neither accusation can be proven I guess I'd rather be a "moron" than a "scammer" although I can assure you my IQ is well above the "moron" status.  As for the rest of your highly intelligent quotes "too stupid," "ignorant," & "fucking child," (did I miss any?) you must have Googled "how can I look like a immature child in 10 words or less."  I guess you weren't breastfed since you have a lot of anger in you. Breath in then out 10X VERY SLOWLY, I can assure you that helps.

You start off with "guaranteed 100% success"  then you allegedly give it (or sell it) to one person and that ONE PERSON can't use it "in the 2 states he has friends and in Canada" then you drop down to "well, if it works in your state so I'll sell it for 1/2 price and NOW it's "well, if it doesn't work you still get something more valuable than a Starbucks card."  And now your "semi-almost-voucher" is sending out his "runners" to break the SBX banks around the country.  

FWIW I have never cashed in a SBX card for 10% or 99% because that would be money laundering or theft since the only cards you can make money on would be the ones we purchase from "questionable sources" for under face value.  Buying coffee with them is one thing since you can just play dumb when they go bad but buying them for the purpose of turning them into cash is either money laundering, theft or selling stolen goods. Does your "method" also include sources for stocking masks or at least how to hack the SBX cameras?  


Here, this might help you, right from Google.  Here are some state laws regarding cashing gift cards (you're welcome):

California, have fun.  Of course Anything goes there:  Any gift certificate sold after January 1, 1997, is redeemable in cash for its cash value, or subject to replacement with a new gift certificate at no cost to the purchaser or holder. Effective January 1, 2008, any gift certificate with a cash value of less than $10 is redeemable in cash, which includes currency or check, for its cash value.

Colorado, Maine, and New Jersey allow gift card refunds, but the balance has to be under $5.
    
In Rhode Island and Vermont the balance has to be under $1.

Massachusetts allows refunds, but the balance has to be under $5 and 90% or more of the card's original value has to have been used

Montana allows refunds for cards with a balance under $5, but the card's original value has to be higher than that.

Washington State refunds gift cards with balances under $5, but you have to purchase something that dips your card total below $5.

Finally, Oregon does offer refunds, but the gift card balance has to be under $5 after a purchase (and a few other stipulations).

And here are the actual statutes from every state:  http://www.ncsl.org/research/financial-services-and-commerce/gift-cards-and-certificates-statutes-and-legis.aspx

Great review Chronicsky! Even "less vouchy" than your first one.  You wrote:     "If it works for you it's really worth it."   That sure is a confidence builder!  So if it doesn't work for you then it's worth nothing.  Now the seller says "ALSO THE PRICE OF THIS GUIDE IS NOW $499; DUE TO THE ISSUE CHRONICSKY HAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS NOT WORK FOR ME BUT APPARENTLY THE STATES HE WAS IN IT DID NOT WORK (MIND YOU THIS MOST LIKELY WAS JUST HIS AREAS HE TEST IT IN; NOT THE WHOLE STATE)"

Seriously this all goes back to the "cash in $5 gift cards unless your state doesn't require it" type of deal.  http://cons.wonderhowto.com/how-to/redeem-gift-card-balances-for-cash-0147298/   Take this back to "the dark web" sir.  When it's down to $4.99 let me know. I'll just have to miss out on getting rich "If it works for me" for $999.99 now only $499 "because it doesn't work in every state."    

So you sign up for this forum in Nov of 2013, make one meaningless post almost 2 years ago and are never again seen or heard from until today and you very next post (the 2nd one in your 2yr forum history) after the one in 2013 is this?   Seriously?  I wonder what the vendetta might be and who you really are.   Just to offset your comment, I purchased 5 SBX cards a few weeks ago from this seller and they are still good, almost gone, but still good.  I also purchased this silly guide but that was my choice since I had $4 in BTC to piss away I was curious.  

You wrote:  though it doesn't work in Canada but does in USA , hopefully if all goes well.

Does that mean you haven't actually tried it and "hopefully" it works in the USA "if all goes well?"  Your vouch sounds kind of half-assed.  

  LOL, classy guy.   You should read this (free): http://www.yourcoach.be/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Dale-Carnegie-How-to-win-friends-and-influence-people.pdf

Seriously, what the heck did you expect when you post here?  People to throw $1000 at your feet (or $500 "on sale.").  FWIW haven't seen a vouch yet from any of those copies you "sold."

Hey, it's only $4, give the guy a break but Google is definitely your friend.  

FWIW, Other than CA in many states there is a $5 limit as to how much cash is required to be given back on an unused gift card. Some states you can't at all. At least his information is not $999 (now reduced to $500) and there is more detail here for the novice money launderer that makes the $4 worth it for some people.  It was worth the $4 to satisfy my curiosity and explains some other things as well on this whole Starbucks thing but I do stand by the message I posted a few back, especially the part about "Big Charlie" with the swastikas on his arm.  Big Brother is always watching so get a Groucho Marx (or Donald Trump or Ted Cruz) mask before taking this up for a livelihood!  

Sent you $4 just for the fun of it.   Hash:  38179dd79541d2f0c3205e272f25377c231950c20a7ccab930e5b62c0e30b79d   

The only problem I find with this (assuming it works and I have no idea if it does or doesn't) is the only way to make money is by cashing out the cheap cards you buy here (and other places) which obviously, despite what ANY seller says, aren't obtained "properly" (if anyone thinks they are they need some serious help).  Now if you try to cash them out and IF you get "caught" you could be in a shitload of trouble.  USING them for coffee is one thing because you can play dumb but trying to turn them into cash might get you into legal problems and if you think you can't be tracked down you are wrong.  I think that is what is called money laundering, taking funds obtained from questionable sources and turning it into sort of "clean" funds or even reselling stolen goods. Sounds tempting but not worth the possibilty of getting buttfucked in the hoosegow by Big Charlie with the swastikas on his arm.  

I'm gonna buy one just to see what it is all about. Not sure that in NJ you can cash in any gift cards.

No wonder you see BURSTS of posting by people with ad campaigns.  I think if the "increase my posts just to increase my ad campaign post count" messages were removed the board would have 75% less messages.  Some of them are just soooooo obvious and add nothing to threads.  Too bad there isn't a way to weed them out and have them not count.

Sent payment 8.5 hrs ago, waiting for response.  Maybe he's a vampire and sleeps during the day? 

LOL, What is the purpose of making this so confusing?    Why not just list the number of posts.  In the end while the number will be higher the "ratio" of member vs. member will still be the same.  Those who post more will have a higher number.  There must be some sort of reasoning behinds this method but I'll be damned if I can figure it out! 

Also the "trust" system confuses me.  There is "trusted trust" and "untrusted trust" and depending on how you log in it varies.  I created another ID just to see what it looks like and it's weird.  And then there is "THE TRUST NETWORK"  that REALLY confuses me!!!   I've been using forums since before Al Gore invented the internet   but this one really keeps my head spinning on how it works.

Is there a "user manual/help file" somewhere that explains all the ins and outs?

It all means absolutely nothing.  It all depends on how and/or where the gift card or account originated (where the SELLER got them). The only thing I have found is if the card had no activity on it previously your odds may be slightly better.  If the card has a lot of previous activity chances are better you'll get shut down than if it didn't.  Ifthery are going to go bad they will whether you transfer them to another card or not. I certainly wouldn't get cards above $100.  I would assumed large amounts added to your account could easily trigger a flag.

Some sellers buy from other sellers who buy from other sellers who buy from a "source."  The more levels of "hand-me-downs" before it gets to you probably makes it worse.  That's probably why SOPHIA was so good because s/he must be the original source of the cards.  The only time I had a problem with Sophia was once when the card had a whole bunch of previous activity.

That is why s/he stopped selling for now. S/he said cards where getting shut down fast. 

All the above is purely conjecture and is based on only my personal experience with purchases of probably 35+ cards over the last year all for personal use.  I'll never sell anything to anyone. I still have a whole bunch of unused cards that are at least 1-8 months old that are still good.



If you wonder how SOME of these cards are obtained this cut&paste is from a New York newspaper from a few days ago.  You can easily find the original article online with a Google search.


"A Brooklyn woman was charged Tuesday with using a fraudulent stolen credit card to purchase gift cards at Home Depot in DeWitt, according to DeWitt Police Chief James Hildmann.
Lleya <I redacted>, 20, of <redacted>, Brooklyn; is charged with purchasing $5,000 worth of gift cards from the Home Depot retail store on Bridge Street in DeWitt using a credit card with a stolen account number on it, DeWitt police said. The credit card xxxxxx used had her name embossed on it, but police said the account number had been stolen from a woman in Texas who didn't know her account had been compromised. xxxxx was charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument and third-degree grand larceny in connection with the incident, police said. Both are felonies. She was arraigned in the DeWitt court and held at the Justice Center on $20,000 cash or $40,000 bond. "

It seems you have the worst luck.       

Free bump for seller.  FWIW the card I bought last Tuesday (6/30) is still good and has been used numerous (~15) times.  While 1 card doesn't make a good seller so far he's done OK for me.  Of course as always YMMV.  Maybe the SBX card checker dept has been closed for the long weekend. 

In case you wonder how so called "legit gift cards with receipt" can be obtained here is an example cut & paste from a NY Newspaper.  Of course I am NOT saying this is how the OP obtains them because I have no idea about him but "if it smells like fish, it's fishy."  These type of credit cards are readily available on the web .......
