How to Liquidate
These are PIN enabled Visa Gift Cards issued by Metabank and can be loaded with $10 to $500. Read more about gift card liquidating methods here.
Caution
These cards are registered to your name at time of purchase, most likely to keep track of the volume. There’s is no set limit but AAA has been knowing to be shutting people down lately but I’m not sure what really is a safe amount to purchase. I would suggest you liquidate these right away to avoid problems, because if you’re shut down, the balance on the gift card could be frozen.
Conclusion
This is a good opportunity for AAA members to score some fee-free credit card spending whether for meeting minimum spend requirements or racking up some points and miles. Make sure you have option for liquidating and do it as quick as possible.

Last May, I bought two $500 at an AAA store in NJ. Then in December, I went to another store in NJ to purchase GC and I was denied. They said because their system showed I already purchase $1,000 in that year.
So, there is a limit to purchase up to $1,000 gift card per year, at least in NJ.
Went to my AAA office in Maryland, was told that I could only buy 1 with max $500 load, however, the clerk checked on the stipulation, there’s no limit on other amount. I asked if I can buy $499 as many aa I want, she smiled and told me, she’s more comfortable selling $450 or less.
Tried this one year in northern VA and was told limit of 2 per member.
Who issues the Visa GC and does it work at Walmart and Post Office?
the posts says Metabank. that should tell you everything you need to know abut your question.
Thanks. I read too fast and skip that line.
