Insurance gave me a Maestro card with money on it.....

[asif]

Right basically I want some of your thoughts and ideas on a situation i've got.

Basically my travel insurance company gave me a Maestro card with money on it to buy replacements of items lost on holiday, i asked for cash but they said they consider this as good as cash.

It has £1060 on the card and I want to somehow turn it into cash rather than be tied into spending it shops that take card, for one it doesn't work in all shops but to be fair it does in most high st shops. I can't useit for fuel as it get's declined Can't do cash back either

So any ideas of how I can somehow turn this money into cash?

Wasn't looking to turn it into cash by selling it as nobody gonna give me the money on it, I was looking more of ideas of how I could possible buy something and sell it or.....well I don't know really lol

Personally ide just use it for the weekly big shop for the next ten weeks or so and use the money from shopping to pay for cloths or anything else you want

This: done: displacement spending and you're laughing.

Or buy the stuff to replace what you had stolen, as that's what it's for...

Wanted to spend it on mods for my car, so wanted to free up the cash so I can buy stuff from people on forums and generally pay people in cash for things like when people are selling stuff in classifieds on all sites and also when you got people selling stuff that you know liek friends and whatever, it's just restrictive at the minute.

The replacements aren't things I really needed just things that went and luckily were covered, I wouldn;t miss the items even if I never had them so not worth replacing the items as I hardly used those items.

better I spend it on things I want than what I don;t need anymore.
