Do I need cash to by gift cards

I have an NBT card and have never had an issue purchasing gift cards at WM or Price Chopper. I didn't buy any at WM this year. Maybe a new policy. They have an ATM so maybe get cash. I know that sucks as there is a fee if not an NBT ATM.

I can't buy them with my nbt debit card

I believe you Can Also CHARGE WITH A CREDIT CARD .

I do not believe so. You can buy them with a credit card
