Split my purchase?

Hello!  Does anybody know if it is possible to split your purchase across different payment methods?  For example, I've got a few of those pre-paid gift cards worth around 50 bucks, but I don't necessariliy try to split up 3 purchases at 50 dollars each... I'd rather spend something in the realm of 125 dollars in one purchase.

Is this possible?  I looked in the FAQ under the "Help" section, but doing keyword search on that big page of questions I couldn't find anything about splitting purchases across payment methods.

Thanks all, and HAPPY SATURDAY!  My favorite day because I splurge on a Starbucks :) :)

    Hmmmm, how about using the pre-paid gift cards to buy a gift card of what is on the card?  Wait it might get confusing if there is a gift card sale going on.  Or maybe figuring out that confusion would save you some funds?

    OH!  And if I do DAZ gift cards then I can use them and pay the rest with regular cash to make up the difference!  GREAT IDEA!

     

    AH, I wish had done this earlier.  I have so many gift cards that have like 1 or 2 bucks because I got to like 48 dollars and was like "awesome, that was close".

    Why not redeem them for store credit? That will put them all into the same pile.

    How long have you been doing this? Gift cards will eventually expire (don't know how long it takes). Convert the small amount on each card to store credit, and that never expires.

    You can't buy a gift card with a gift card or store credit.  If you could, you could buy a card for X% off, then use that to buy another card for X% off multiple times until the card was almost free.

    As for what to do with them, just redeem them for store credit and it all goes in the same pot.  Alternatively, you can select store credit, pay part of the amount, then pay the rest with a cc.

    For a while, actually.  Those visa gift cards don't expire till like 2027, just like a credit card.  I just get them often as gifts and such, and then I like to use them here.  
     

    What you said is exactly what I'm going to do going forward, thank you!  I wish I had asked you all earlier, I literally had never thought of it!
