FSA and paying with a gift card?

[anothershopper2]

I have a question - and I didn't see it in the FSA FAQ.

My DD has a prescription for a topical steroid cream for her baby eczema. I was thinking about going to WGs to get it. Can I use a GC to pay for it and still get reimbursed by my FSA? Or should I just use my CC.

Thanks!

I don't think the method matters. They have no idea that you may have gotten the gc for free. Now I do think that using a RR would be a problem since they show up as a coupon.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I won't be getting any GCs cause I live in one of the 2 states (NY) that prohibits getting gift cards for these types of promos... I can't take advtg of them. No RRs here. Don't bother with them.

But I do have my WG gift card from the Easy Saver Rebates.
