USA refund/SE trip
In Europe there are juts few possibilities for refunding/SE compared to USA. So, lately I've been thinking about a trip to the USA in order to get myself a MacBook and some other stuff. The idea is to use AirBnB (renting a private apartment is probably the best option) and stay at one place till the refund is complete and money hit my bank account then move on and change place. My question is, what do you guys think about such an idea? What the problems/risks might be? Do I need US credit card for that? Please share your opinion with me.

Thanks
you can buy lots of prepaid giftcards in the US in most stores so i think your best bet would be going with that, and depending on how much money you got to spend id also go for a couple other stores, but the only thing to watch out when coming back is customs cause if they catch you they let you pay a shitton of taxes

Can you refund with those though? (giftcards)

I am aware of the customs. I think it's taxfree as long as it's for personal use. Meaning they can't do shit if it's not in the original box. At least this is how it was few years ago. Also I was thinking about using Payoneer or similar service - is that possible?
afaik yes, but i havent tried it myself so i cant give a definitive answer

or a thing you could also do is using a US VCC, but getting the money off it afterwards might be a pain in the ass tho

yeah if you use it for yourself and you dont have like 5boxes with brandnew macs in your luggage i dont see anything happening with customs

but for the payment i cant really help you with that tbh

your best bet would be finding someone from the US that can give you some better info on that

and for airbnb i know some guys that can get you a nice airbnb for like half of the price (might include carding from their site tho) just msg here and ill help you along

Adding you on Skype
damn u gonna go all the way to america to refund some macbooks. Might aswell do all the other electronic sites that can be done in USA too, also Gucci and other designer shit.
Also what's the point if u cant bring back multiple macbooks past customs without taxes?
Well, a return fly ticket is like €300-400 so the trip would be worth it even If I brought back stuff for "personal use" only. And ofc I wouldn't do just the macbook - it's just the tip of the iceberg. I would like to get my hands on iPad Pro, Pixel C, GoPro etc. as well.
If you were able to get a good debit/cc then it could be profitable

What do you mean by "good"?

Well you'd need to have a good enough score to not get in trouble.
Also enough money to purchase some legitimate goods to stay clean.
