You can use evolve money to pay bills that you normally can't pay with a credit card.  There are no fees for this service but you need to get the PIN# and register the card in your name to do this.  Very easy.

If you want to liquidate you could buy money orders for a small fee at Walgreens or the supermarket then deposit them into your bank account.

If you have a American Express Serve card you can load your Amex Serve with a gift card at Family Dollar then withdraw the money at an ATM or you can direct transfer from your Amex Serve to your checking account.  Takes 7-10 days for the transfer to go through.
