Cheap places to refill V.3

Usually too good of discount = stolen CC. Then PPC might shutdown the acct(s) these PINs are applied to.

It's a pretty good discount though.

I have in the past. I think there is an eBay rule, or some other rule, that prevents sending PINs purchased on eBay via e-mail. Does the seller give you the option to send the PIN via USPS?

Well, the price just went up a buck. Now just an O.K. deal. This is what the seller states:

When checking out through Paypal, please include your phone number you want the PIN applied to.

All payments will be posted to your Phone Number within a 12 hours of payment.

Please note: We will not Email PINS.

Also, to follow ebay rules, printed receipt will be shipped to you with USPS First Class letter.

It's Ebay, so you just use PayPal.

I have sold PINs online and done this too. It reduces scams because:

1. People can't resell them.
2. You have proof it's been delivered and applied.
3. If they scam you, you have their phone # and possibly power to track and shut them down.

Right. The last part of the sellers quote is what I was referring to. I didn't have to provide my cell # when I last purchased a pin on eBay. I probably would say no to doing so, whatever the reason, and just buy the PIN elsewhere.

Boz, How many pins do you stack at a time? I hear conflicting reports. PagePlus said it is not an issue stacking while another states that the pins could get converted to cash. PagePlus CS states that will not happen now... etc....

The reason I ask is I want to know how many pins I should by at a discount.

I don't stack PINs because I use the Standard Plan and PT2000. However, I do sometimes purchase several $80 PINs in advance from PIN dealers, primarily pageplusdealer.com, and sometimes callingmart.com. I then apply the PINs to my PPC #s only as needed. If I were to purchase multiple PINs from an eBay seller, if I weren't going to apply them right away, I would definitely call PPC CS to verify the PINs were valid and unused. To stack or not to stack is your choice. If I were on a monthly plan, I'd stack them, but I'd also check my PPC records online monthly, and then if there was a problem, I'd call PPC CS to take care of it.

Thanks for responding Boz!

You're welcome. As I'm sure you've read elsewhere, there have been some reports of stacked monthly PINs getting erroneously converted to cash by PPC. You'll have to make your own decision if you're willing to deal with PPC CS if you do stack and that happens to your account.

Yesterday Callingmart had a code listed on facebook for 3% off. Today I see 5% off. What is the best discount I should expect at Callingmart. Thanks.

5% is the best you should expect from CallingMart. The 3% is a code that doesn't seem to expire, but the 5% codes are not always available. I would say they have the 5% codes about 7-10 times a year.

**zapjb** · 01-24-2012, 02:25 PM

I think once or twice a year CM offers 7% off on PPC refills.

**brewswillis** · 01-24-2012, 04:57 PM

I get 5% off all the time with www.pindirectcell.com . No codes necessary. Just a standard 5% off all the time, when I can't find a better deal somewhere else......which has been the case for the last 4 months or so now.
