so i'm starving and haven't eaten all day and have no money (college student) anyway i'm gonna be up the rest of the night studying for finals so i need to eat. i have a visa vanilla gift card and last night i had no money on it but was able to buy food by running it as credit, i did it accidentally. would it be able to work again?
wtf ali you didn't answer my fucking question bitch, I'M STARVING
Answer
Those cards are run as "credit" because they don't come with "pin" numbers. Debit cards need pins, credit cards don't They are backed by Visa so they run as a Visa credit card..

male kindergarden teacher gift?
stacey p
ok so my son is in kidergarden this year and has a male teacher.......ive never run into this problem and i have no idea what to get him for a christmas gift!!! any ideas?
Answer
I am a teacher, and I hate to say it, but most of the items kids give their teachers for Christmas wind up being thrown away or sent to the Salvation Army....
I truly do appreciate the gifts families send to me, and it means an awful lot that they sent anything - they certainly don't have to. I love a sincere note written by the child's own hand, honestly. I have several of the sweetest notes given to me by students; I save them, and on a bad day, I take them out and remember why I became a teacher in the first place.
That said, the gifts I have received, used and really appreciated have been the gift cards. With a gift card, I can buy something I need or want. My favorite gift cards are those to book stores, because I can use them to buy more books for my classroom library. I spend hundreds of dollars a year on my classroom, buying many books as well as other supplies, for my students. My kids are THRILLED when I bring in a bag of books from the book store, and they have sign-up sheets to decide who gets to use each new book first, second, third, etc. I know it sounds silly, but if you give me a gift card to a bookstore, I'll probably re-invest that money right back into your child, by getting a book he or she would enjoy reading.
The mugs, ornaments, stuffed animals, etc -- I appreciate the thought, I really do, but I don't have room for all that stuff. I don't eat chocolate, and I don't want food, because I'm overweight as it is! LOL - So, honestly, a note of appreciation is perfectly acceptable, and beyond that, gift cards are probably the most useful.
By the way, I have 27 students, and expect to receive, oh, perhaps 3 "purchased or monetary" gifts from students. I work in a very impoverished school area, which makes my heart break when I receive a gift I do not need from a child whose family I know struggles to make ends meet.....I'd rather those parents spend the money to make the child's holiday special..... I frequently get pictures colored by a child, or hand-written notes, or even crudely child-made decorations for my home. I love that the kids thought about me and spent time making something for me. I always make sure to mail a handwritten thank you note to every child during holiday break, whether the gift was a crayon picture or something rather expensive.
