it says on the card you can't get cash from the card, the balance of what you don't use will be put back on the card.

I just thought of something though - I wonder if I could buy something that uses up the balance of the card, and get a gift receipt and then return it with the gift receipt (which isn't going to have the method of payment on it) hmmm.
