$125

The game:
I got $125 in prepaid Visa. I didn't budget for this and all my bills (etc) are paid. I cannot withdraw cash on these types of cards. I
need to buy something, and I want to buy something fun.
You suggest based on the following considerations:
-$125 includes a $4 transaction fee (I can't spend more than $121)
-The amount must include shipping
-Because of the transaction fee, I would rather spend all of it at the same place in one transaction
-I will not donate to charity/srf members
These cards have some limitations. I ordered a pizza today and the guy said I can't use these cards. From what I can tell, it's ok for online purchases, as written on the card.
What do?

Anything, with the exception of movies/tv shows/music.
It's my self-Christmas present.

Buy/pre-order games that you want?
Edit: Carl Sagan's Cosmos is something I would get.

Flip $100-$199 (????)
http://www.google.com/products/catalog? ... GcQ8wIwAg#and if you really want something fun:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/You can probably just grab a bunch of items into the cart and do 1 checkout so you only get charged $4 once.

Assuming you made the picture your self, since $100 is on 1 card, and $25 on another, wouldn't it be $117 to spend?

What's the tax like where you live? It's a 1.09 for one here. Could only get like 113 of them. *When you take into account that there is a 1 dollar fee for using the card, and since there's two cards.*
So 123/1.09 = 113ish. I think. I'd have to actually do the calculation to be sure.
