» The dregs on 3V vouchers

Posted by TheChrisD on Saturday the 13th of January, 2007 at 4:45:07pm UTC

I’ve always been confused as to what to do with the last bits of cash on my 3V vouchers after I’ve used the bulk of the credit to buy stuff I actually want (like domain names, Steam games etc.).

I’ve always tried to add it to my Paypal account, but it never worked as I either had the e-mail I tried to use registered on my account, or the credit card already registered. So what to do with the dregs always baffled me……

Lately, I’ve taken to donating the dregs to websites I use and like. A month or so ago, I donated the last €16 (well OK, that one had some cash on it, but I wanted to donate something there anyway) to halo2.junk.ws – not just for the donor sig, but also as I really liked the community, and figured it was about time.
Plus Penny had already donated to them, and I wasn’t gonna let him be the only Head Organiser who was a donor!

And just today, the last €4.11 went to an Xbox fan site that I USED to be a bit of a big cheese on – until they removed me from power cos the members couldn’t understand H2L. While on the other end it only came out as £2.64 GBP, it’s still something to help them with the fees of their new server.

Now, my current voucher still has over €36 on it (started at €70, minus two domain names, and the Counter-Strike 1 Anthology on Steam) – and now this time I wonder which website, or person, to donate it’s dregs to when the amount of credit on it runs low enough to warrant one. Any suggestions?

    That E thing is the euro symbol.

    €1 = around $1.30, so yea €70 would be a lot of money.

If you were so hungry you ate your "comment cookie", then I'll need to approve your rant, and give you another cookie. Go put it in the biscuit tin, padlock it shut and throw away the key!

Gravatars are enabled, so show us your mug!

Links are automatically "dofollowed" after two days, giving me time to kill the spam! With that in mind, any comment with 3 links or more will need my explicit approval.

Since this post is about a month old, if your comment is caught by the spamhammer, it will be immediately spawn-raped and won't get a chance to respawn. So play nice!

Website URL, if you have one. But you're on the Internet, so of course you do! Right...?

Your comment, obviously.
