Xbox 1600 & Wii 2000 Point Cards for $17.99 each @ Amazon

[quote name='dg7md']Do point cards actually have tax? I recall buying a card once at GS and not having to pay any bit of tax on it. I was puzzled about it and asked the cashier and she said that the cards don't have tax. This was one of the 4000 point cards back about 6 months ago.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure, I live in the land of no tax :)

But one of MS's main reasons for using the cards & encouraging people to buy in bulk is to eliminate the credit card industries fee racket. (the credit industry usually charges an average of 2.7% + 30 cents for every transaction)

That fee itself is like a hidden tax, artificially inflating the price of everything, whether you buy it w/ a CC or not. It's nice how the points system eliminates it. :)
