I clicked on the link you provided and I saw no information about the deal you posted. What theaters will be participating. Is it for the Prime member only or can he being his family?

The answer to my question is you just need to search for the movie name in Amazon search and then it will give you a link to buy the tickets on Fandango. You can go with your entire family, but just the one Prime member will get the free ticket. However, I have found out that all the seats are sold out. I looked at several different theaters in my area and not one seat was still available.

Tempting, but I don’t need a membership. I just use Costco cash cards and they act as a membership card, getting me into the store and allowing me to make purchases (and returns). I can also buy Costco gas and pay with my cash cards.

You need to have a membership though to buy cash cards, but I just ask a friend to get me $2,000 worth once every couple years and I am set.

I don’t have that offer either, but I remember when I first signed up for Target Circle I got some similar offer. By any chance, are you new to the paid Target Circle program?

Walmart was my go-to, as well, one of the few everyday retail options. Bummer if it’s gone for good.

I’m hesitant to buy certain restaurant/retail cards because I don’t like to tie up funds unless I’m sure it’g going to get redeemed quickly. And for a lot of these, it’s not as good a deal as it seems when you can get a better discount buying direct from the restaurant/website with frequently offered promos or redeeming Discover cash back with a bonus. Stores like Old Navy/Gap, Chipotle, Panera, Kohls, and Jersey Mike’s are examples of this.

I wish there was a detailed description of Your Choice Gift, Google gives some possible choices, but it’s not clear what stores are definitively available. Also, the minimum spend is $25, not $20. Anyone ever try this?

An option I have done from time to time is Taco Bell. TB cards are not often discounted better from other platforms/promos. This is also a place where I can dumpster dive for receipts to get rewards points. And lastly, they have a “Tuesday Drop” every Tuesday at 2 PM pacific time where they make available a limited quatity deal. Sometimes it’s a contest entry for merch, but it’s usually a discounted food item. Typical examples are items like a Chalupa Supreme, Five-layer Burrito, or Gordita for $1, a big markdown from regular price. The catch is that the offer must be used that same calendar day.

How do you know for sure Walmart is gone for good? When you click on “gift cards” and it takes you to the home screen it still shows the picture of the Walmart gift card, among others. They may just be restocking or something. I guess only time will tell.

@mrvietnam did you give up your other Amex?
There’s an option for Your Gift Choice which sounds like a Zift card but IDK which merchants are included.

I try to avoid paying annual fees for credit cards, so I ditched my Am Ex Blue long ago. I like the free version better though too because it gives me 3% cashback on online orders and a free Disney+/Hulu subscription.

I wonder if the Your Gift Choice card has a minimum amount to purchase or if you can redeem for that option for whatever amount you want to buy it for.

TCB used to (perhaps as late as a few years ago) give you $3 cashback with a $15 spend, but I guess those offers are gone forever. Now they give you less money back for a larger purchase, but something is better than nothing.

@mtnagel said in Paze Spend $10, get $10 back* —up to 10 times when you use Paze® checkout, offered by banks and credit unions. Now through 9/10/2026.:

I didn’t say Visa wouldn’t get the credit, just that I haven’t seen anyone say they got the credit when using a Visa.

Let me be the first to let you know that now someone (namely me) gor the credits back and I paid with a Visa card (from Chase).

I made two purchases at Wendy’s today using Paze. . I will post when and if I receive $10 credits back for each of my trannies. Might as well test it out. If I get the credits I will certainly do more transactions.

As promised, I am posting to let you guys know I did receive my $10 credits back from PAZE a couple days ago from using my Chase Visa card at Wendy’s. It took 9 days for me to get the money back from the day I made the purchase. I never contacted PAZE. I was just patient and the credits eventually came.

I am looking forward to milking this offer for as much as I can get back from it. Debit cards also work by the way. The $10 or more needed purchase is AFTER TAX. Today I will be taking my family out to Wendy’s again for a nearly free lunch.

@mrvietnam Why not Disney? Don’t you have a trip planned?
I bought Shaws egc and used 4 of them to buy a $75 Chewy gc and received the $15/$15 grocery q last week. YMMV
Even if you use the Albertsons (?) gc.for groceries its a better discount than the 6% your Amex gives.
If you get another pet then you can get PetSmart, Chewy & Petco gc. 😉

I only have the Am Ex Blue Everyday card (no annual fee) that gives 3% back at grocery stores. However there is a AAA credit card that you can get that gives 5% back at grocery stores and 3$ back at club stores like Sam’s Club and Costco all for no annual fee) that I will be applying for soon. It is called the AAA Daily Advantage Visa Signature® card.

@impasse said in EBAY to end EBay Plastic/Digital Gift Cards Aug 3, see post for details (current GC's will not expire):

ugh damn, no more 6% back at ebay with my blue cash preferred

I have been doing better than that by buying them at Target. They often have offers like my current offer from them: make 3 $40 purchases and get $15 back in rewards and then I pay with my Red Card and get an additional 5% off to make for 15% off 3 variable amount ($50) e-bay gift cards (For their eBay variable amount cards Target only lets you choose $15, $25, $50, etc. - no $40 option or else it would have been a 17.5% discount after the dust settled).
