the visa company is brilliant wit hthese things. I absolutely hate these things. Can I use these at an ATM to take the money out? Or go to the bank and withdrawl. If I were to actually use it like money, there would be absolutely no way I could possible spend every last sent, and I would rather not leave any for visa.

good luck not leaving any to Visa. Fees, fees, hidden fees. Use that sucker in total as fast as you can if you want the highest return.

theres only one fee I'm aware of, the 3.00$ inactive fee, its using the amount in its entirety, thats the problem.,

I think if you're using it for sketchy purchases it's definitely worth the hidden fees. Although it is some bullshit.

How can you not use it in it's entirety?
Even if you have $0.13 left, the next time you buy something, pay 13 cents with the card and pick up the rest.
It doesn't need to be an exact amount...

can you do that online tho? say for instance you want to buy something for 100$ and have a 50$ card and 25$ or something,. and use debit card for the rest.
I guess I could relieve most pain by just going to the bank and withdrawing it all or transferring to my checking accnt. is that possible?

No. If you wanted to convert it to cash you'd have to sell it online through giftcardrescue.com or something.
