$55 Newegg Digital Gift Card for $50 @Groupon and LivingSocial


  • administrators



  • So if I bought the $200 deal. I would receive a newegg giftcard for $200 and also a $20 Newegg Giftcard? Is it possible to obtain any Groupon Cashback? And the $220 Newegg giftcards… can they be used along with a Newegg coupon? Or is the $20 considered a coupon? And if it’s considered a coupon, can you use multiple coupons on one order?

    Yeah a lot of questions, but “deal stacking” can be tricky at times! Thanks in advance!

    @centora87 You can earn cash back on Groupon purchases. Is your question whether this deal would be excluded because you’re buying a gift card and cash back isn’t usually earned when buying a gift card? If so, I have no idea.

    The NewEgg gift cards can be used along with a NewEgg coupon.
    The $20 is a gift card not a coupon. You can use multiple gift cards on a single order.

    I remember doing something similar last year and cashing out the entire gc buying FAR stuff on BF.

    FWIW, here’s a thread on CB comparison sites: https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/62/cash-back-site-comparison-tools (if you were asking about portals that offer CB for Groupon, as opposed to whether GC purchases earn CB)

    It works, but it does take about 5 seconds to kick in.



  • Basically what I’d like to do is purchase $200 from Groupon and $200 from LivingSocial (same exact deal listed there… might be sister sites?). Therefore, I’d spend $400 in total and receive $40 in promotional credit. I’d like to use that $40 promotional credit in lieu with any possible coupon/rebate a black Friday deal Newegg might offer.

    As a true PhatWallet user… I’d LOVE to deal stack any possible cashback along the way (Aka cashback from Groupon, cashback from my Credit Card, and cashback from buying something on Newegg assuming purchases on electronics/paying with giftcards count… haven’t researched that far in advance yet).

    If I remember correctly the promotion gift cards are gift cards, they just have a (sooner?) expiration date. I’m not sure if the regular gift cards expire.

    You should be able to get cashback on the purchase. For example, these are the exclusions on ebates

    Exclusions: Cash Back is not available on deals that are sold and fulfilled through third-party websites, Groupon gift cards, Market Picks Getaway purchases, Groupon+ purchases and Student Program Discounts.

    These are not groupon gift cards, so it should be OK.

    Since they are gift cards and not coupons, you should be able to use them together with a coupon (and newegg does allow multiple coupons per order).

    Here are the terms for promotional gift cards from the last time I received one. Looks like it expires 1 year after issue.

    HOW TO USE YOUR PROMOTIONAL GIFT CARD:
    
    Your promotional gift card may be used toward the purchase of any item on Newegg.com. To redeem, simply enter the GIFT CARD ID and SECURITY CODE listed above in the checkout screen when placing your order.
    
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
    
    A "Promotional Gift Card" means any gift card, whether in the form of a virtual e-card or an actual physical card, given away by Newegg Inc. ("Newegg") as part of an awards, loyalty or promotional program without any money or other thing of value being paid in exchange for the gift card. The term "Promotional Gift Card" does not include "Gift Card", "Store Credit Gift Card" or "Customer Care Gift Card".
    
    A PROMOTIONAL GIFT CARD OFFERED WHEN YOU PURCHASE A PRODUCT WILL BE ISSUED TO YOU 4 DAYS AFTER YOU ARE INVOICED FOR YOUR PURCHASE.
    
    A Promotional Gift Card can be redeemed only through www.newegg.com (the "Website") and may only be used toward the purchase of merchandise or services offered for sale on the Website. To redeem a Promotional Gift Card, you must enter your gift card ID and security code in the "Redeem Gift Card" area on the shopping cart page.
    
    If you use your Promotional Gift Card to make a purchase at the website and your purchase does not exhaust the credit balance on your Promotional Gift Card, then you may use the remaining balance for future purchases, subject to the restrictions set forth herein. If you use your Promotional Gift Card to make a purchase at the website which exceeds the credit balance on your Promotional Gift Card, you will have to use another payment method to pay for the remainder of your purchase. 
    
    Promotional Gift Cards are not redeemable for cash. 
    
    Newegg is under no obligation to restore lost or stolen Promotional Gift Cards. 
    
    A Promotional Gift Card cannot be used toward the purchase of a Newegg Gift Card. 
    
    Additional credit cannot be added to a Promotional Gift Card after it has been issued by Newegg. 
    
    A PROMOTIONAL GIFT CARD EXPIRES ONE (1) YEAR AFTER IT IS ISSUED. 
    
    If you receive a Promotional Gift Card in connection with your purchase of an item, your Promotional Gift Card will be voided if you subsequently return that item to Newegg for a refund. 
    
    Please note: Newegg reserves the right to block the customer account of any customer who repeatedly seeks to return an item (for which a Promotional Gift Card was issued when the item was purchased), for a refund after first using that Promotional Gift Card toward the purchase of a different item. 
    
    A Promotional Gift Card may not be resold, and Newegg reserves the right to void any Promotional Gift Card it believes has been resold. 
    
    A holder of a Promotional Gift Card can obtain balance and other card information at any time by following this link:
     
    https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/BalanceCheck.aspx 
    
    and entering the card ID and security code, or by calling Newegg Customer Service at (800) 390-1119 during normal business hours. 
    
    Except to the extent of any express conflict with these Terms & Conditions for Promotional Gift Cards, Newegg's standard Policy and Agreement applies to Promotional Gift Cards. All provisions of these Terms & Conditions are enforced except where prohibited by law.

    @centora87 IIRC last year we got cash back from Amex. Haven’t seen it yet this year and its getting late.



  • Going to hold of a little longer to see if a great deal pops up. Thank you all for the suggestions!
