So, as a birthday gift, a family member gave me a $100 Vanilla Visa gift card; it's a prepaid debit card. I know nothing about prepaid cards, but a google search says that I cannot use it at an ATM, but i can use it through paypal. I know most exchangers will not do paypal>BTC because of fraud.
Would I be better off finding someone who will take the card number+security code? Or should I try and find someone who will do a paypal exchange? I know that get-bitcoin accepts these cards for a 3% surcharge, but you have to physically mail them in. I'm impatient and want BTC asap!
Hoping someone on #bitcoin-otc can help. If not, maybe I can find a friend IRL tomorrow that will trade cash for the card.

Problem solved: girlfriend said she didn't mind taking the card for cash. EZ-PZ.
