#3I'm a fan of Cardpool. I've purchased two orders of iTunes cards already, and I've told a friend about it who's made a purchase. Glad you guys are becoming even more efficient. But, what's this technology? Can you say anything more about it?
Seems you can't guarantee that the person doesn't sell a card to cardpool and then go out and spend the money quickly. Unless you can maybe contact that company and request a re-issue with a different number? Or you just trust that the seller is honest and in the rare (?) case they screw you you don't do business with them and just eat the loss. Or something I'm not thinking of...

#5When you guys getting rid of the $25 requirement? I have lots of partially used Gift Cards that I'd love to get rid of.
Do competitors to cardpool offer that?

#6I don't know if they work like this, but can you guys buy up a few small dollar gift cards and then combine them onto a single bigger value card?

I just checked. They require a CC# from anyone they pay online, in case the seller does just that.

My 5 secs searching says: Plastic Jungle has a $25 req. Card Woo, another competitor, has a $20 min.

I doubt they could charge that cc in that situation.
Would only prevent recurring fraud per cc.

Thanks for doing 5 seconds of searching ...
So that feature could be a competitive advantage for CardPool. If they can already move money between cards like this new feature suggests, maybe this is in the realm of possibility.
