Our FReepathon. I did not have any money to give more to my favorite site. However, I did have a few gift cards, with small balances just sitting around.
I checked each and everyone of them to see how much was left. I had 4 in total (one was for .50 cents, lol).
The other 3 totaled $30.77. I was not sure if a cc charge was applied for donations, so I contacted onyx whom referred me to Jim Robinson.
Those last 3 donations from NY posted, were from me and my gift cards, sitting there collecting dust.
If any of you have gift cards sitting around, check the balance. There is a minimum of $3.00 for cc donation to FR.
Smart idea.....when you check the balances left, write down the last 4 numbers of the acct # and write down the amount left. Makes it SO much easier to process to the FReepathon.
I KNOW there are a lot of you with those gifts cards laying around collecting dust because of the small balances left.
THEY ADD UP! If only 10 FReepers had a collection of $30 seperate gift cards, that's an additional $300 bucks!
So go ahead, look in your drawers, wallets, closets, where ever you keep those cards. Look up the balance and donate them to FR!
Just getting the word out to Sarah's Ping list!
Thumbs up if you are addicted to FReeping!
Thanks for the gift card idea dearest NoGrayZone, I will look for some when I return home from my trip.
You are indispensable to F.R.!

I do not doubt the veracity of your statement! Lord knows if I knew all of the laws on the books, I’d be slobbering down my chin and would be the biggest social retard you’d ever meet!
Darn, we’re still at 29%. Look people look!!!!
PRETTY PLEASE!!!
Ah! It’s not common knowledge with me, because I’ve never seen one of those kind of gift cards, although now that I think of it, I’ve heard them talked about in radio ads.
Yours is a great FReepathon idea!
Thanks! I’m sure many Freepers have a few sitting around w/ small balances, collecting dust.
Minimum is $3 bucks for FR. Collectively, they can add up.
I’d hate to see our FReepathon go an entire quarter before we reach goal.
Just bumping an idea.
As are you KC!!! ;)
I phone and pad is now coming out with the new “secret” telecommunication app.
$20 bucks a month. I think I’ll do it, for my own privacy.
Thanks NGZ. Actually not bad. Of course, I’ve spent my Xmas bonus gift card on (part of) a tank of gas.
Buuuump!
Those pics are awesome! Love the snow “people” protesting global warming, heeheehee.
Glad you liked it.
Let’s get your awesome thread moving again today!
Great idea, indeed! Looking for gift cards that have not expired and still have a balance on them, now :)
Excellent, thanks!!
Yay you!! And thanks for the new grumpy cat pic. My bff and I, as well as her daughter, are obsessed with grumpy!!
