This is a bit unfortunate.

    They already charge taxes for refilling directly with them and now even target is charging those taxes. The only way to avoid them is to use crypto.

      That’s how I have been topping my count up is by refilling it with Monero

        I’ve been using dash. I was using callingmart.com and sometimes target. Callingmart used to have nonstop 5% discount codes and a reward program that more than made up for $1/“card” to refill. Target sometimes has 5% off gift cards and I think you can stack your red card but now that they are charging taxes on them you still end up paying more than the sticker price.

        What I have been trying to do is throw what I need for tmo and then some into crowdnode so I can earn at least a little bit before I need to pull it out for tmo or other things like Siriusxm.

          For me its Moneri and a little USDC on Aave to get interest on. Though not a lot since USDC can be frozen. Waiting for Serai DEX to come out so i can earn a yeild on my Monero directly. Then i would have little to no need for USDC at all.
