buy yourself 500 of these bugerking $1 giftcards with your CC....use the $1 bills to pay the CC back

Not worth the hassle.

I do believe you have to use those cards at a Burger King

Hawkeye · 12-07-2009, 11:23 AM

It said an "actual $1 bill" so I do not believe you would have to use it at Burger King. It is more of a gimmick to make people think about Burger King than anything I think.

shipping kills the deal

GT3 Tim · 12-07-2009, 04:18 PM

Shipping is included.

Total cost to send a BK "card" with a $1 bill inside = $1 LOL

No money to be made here..........

Kirk Lazarus: [to Tugg Speedman] What do you mean, "you people?"
Alpa Chino: [stares at Lazarus, and then gets angry] What do *you* mean, "you people?"
Kirk Lazarus: Huh?

Funny, there was a similar story in today's WSJ about frequent fliers using their credit cards buying $1 collectors coins from the U.S. mint (free shipping), and then taking the coins directly to the bank and putting them in their account (and subsequently paying off the cards). They had testimonials of some people getting lifetime status upgrades on airlines, free trips to the tropics, etc, etc. Pretty funny.
