PartyPoker Depositing via Prepaid Card

[BlazyBlah]

Wow! I tried it today! I went to a jewelry store in my neighborhood, and bought a $150 "card". Actually, it's just a receipt with a pin number. At first the guy didn't know what I was talking about, but I was persistant, and he eventually looked at his computer and found the option for "Cash Connection Link". I had a choice between $50, 100, 150, or 250. There was a $9.95 service fee regardless of which denomination I wanted.

I planned on buying a $200 card, but I settled for the 150. He gave me my receipt and asked me what it was for. I really couldn't care less, and he had no clue who I was, so I told him exactly what it was for. I put 8 $20 bill on the counter, and then I went home. I logged into Party Poker, entered in the PIN, and instantly had $150 in my account.

Nice transaction! Cheap too considering it was fairly instant, and completely anonymous. I think the $250 works out to like 3.9% fee. The $150 card is 6.25%.
