@mistercheap Thank you MC. Are you looking at the rewards profile on a mobile device? I looked at mine, which doesn’t show the info the same way as yours, but don’t see minimum requirement met.
ink prepaid card is under ink cartridge / toner category

Do you need $30+ in Ink/Toner purchases in the past 6 months to qualify for the ink rewards? I have bought HP Instant Ink prepaid cards (for monthly subscription service). Does that count? Or am I wasting my time going to Staples for this?
Thanks

@c3

The two links are different.

One is mygift.giftcardmall.com (visa) and the other is mcgift.giftcardmall.com (mastercard).

Is it possible to apply for new Amex Bluebird account and load it with these Visa GCs at Walmart? Or does this process only works for legacy/grandfathered BB accounts? Can someone please confirm? Thx

@mmyk I just went to Target for this. This is handled by a 3rd party in the Electronics department. They open at 10am (local time and not when Target opens).

Their system had a problem so the guy told me they couldn’t exchange the gift card. In any case, you get 50% of the value of your gift card. What a scam!!! And this program is always running.

@my4mainecoons Thx. Did you try using them as Debit cards so that they don’t get charged? Agree, it is not our problem. Is the 2k limit per day? Per week? I don’t buy them in one shot.

@my4mainecoons Thx. I am going pay some medical bills with visa next week and then get it reimbursed from my HSA acct. Better than paying directly to service providers and not get anything.

@my4mainecoons Thank you. Some folks were complaining on another website that the MC GC didn’t work for MO at Walmart. They were never prompted for the pin. Not sure if you have to use the red button (cancel) trick for using MC GC as a debit payment.

@my4mainecoons

Which store do u liquidate these cards for MO? Walmart or some other grocery store? Have you tried loading it to Bluebird? Is it easy at Walmart or they give hard time as well? Thx

Does anyone know what is the default 4 digit pin for this MCGC from Meta Bank? Do you need to set the pin for debit use or the default pin (last 4 digits of the card???) can be used? Thx

@ukedog said in Bing search Microsoft Rewards promotion:

@fatwking I occasionally use DuckDuckGo, and would probably do so more if I was in a witness protection program or had a high security profile somewhere. I just use Bing for the rewards (it’s my home page, but I only use it a few minutes each morning).

At this point Microsoft should be aware that I like quickly flashing up news briefs, movie cast members, and dig Amazon gift cards. Beyond that, not so much–well, at least from Bing.

I too value privacy, and don’t participate in social media stuff like Facebook, Twitter, and so on. Never have! Oh well. And I’m more humored than bothered by “targeted” ads that pop for me thanks to prior Google searches.

We, the people, have the power to take back our privacy that these big techs have decimated and blatantly violated. If enough people started using alternatives that work just as well and actually defend our privacy, these tech behemoths (Goog, Amz, Fbook, Msft, etc.) will lose power and will bend to the will of the people. We need to take that power away from them.

No Bing No Google … I use duckduckgo.com for privacy

Amen. Privacy is of utmost importance and not up for compromise. I only use duckduckgo.com. It is quite puzzling so many people are not aware of this awesome search engine.

@my4mainecoons Thank you.

I bought 3. I will check if they have the default pin. Thx.

The default pin on this card is last 4 digits of the card? May buy money order with it at Stop&Shop if using online is a hassle.

Are these Visa gift cards easy to use online? Do you need to register them for online use? I want to pay off my auto insurance policy premium.

Hello. Mr C. Can you (or someone else) confirm if the promo worked on $100 visa? I am thinking of buying $100 visa and then use that to buy other GC at S&S. Two promos with one purchase. Thx

So if you are shopping (or live) in an area where PrimeNow is supported, you will see shipping options of 2 hours delivery, 1 hour delivery, etc…by selecting either of these shipping options…the purchase is flagged as prime now and the discount mentioned in this thread can be applied? Is that a correct understanding of prime now crap?

I don’t see Instant Pot via Prime Now. I only see Whole Foods items.

Many people had the same issue per reviews on Amazon. I got my Lyft gift card refunded. As of yesterday (7/13/18), Amazon is not selling Lyft gift cards. I suppose to fix the issue, etc.

I bought Lyft egift card from Amazon.

I found out after the purchase that this is like promo credit than a gift card.

However, I am unable to redeem the gift card (using Claim Code) in the Lyft mobile app. It says it is invalid.

I have an active promotion (10% off 8 rides, etc) on the account. Is this the reason I am unable to redeem the Lyft gift card since it can’t stack with other promotions?

Do you have to enter the space in the claim code to redeem?

Any other feedback from your experience?

I called the Lyft gift card hotline 1-844-493-9881. It is asking me for 16 digit code for balance. I have 16 characters Claim Code. Not sure if I can use corresponding digits for the letters.

Please help.

Didn’t see this info here. Posting in Hot Deals so that it catches the most attention.

It is still working in some states based on various sources, but the window is closing in.

Does anyone have a picture of the 30% coupon that I can use in store? Thanks.

Just went to Shoprite. Checked with the customer service about the Gift Card promotion. She showed me internal memo that was sent mid-week. They had many issues with the gift card…people not reading the terms, etc. So they extended the promotion to all cards except Shoprite, MC, and Visa. I just bought a couple of them (one per shoprite plus card) with Chase Pay.

Maxed out on $400 on Chase Pay at Shoprite today. Let’s see when the points come through. Thanks.

Can you use Lowe’s gift card to purchase other “closed-loop” third party gift cards in store?

@mistercheap said in ShopRite B&M 12/10-16 Buy $100 in SELECT Gift Cards, get $15 Grocery Voucher valid week of 12/17:

@fatwking yes, just the cards shown unfortunately.

Thank you @MISTERCHEAP. That’s a bummer. T & C are certainly not clear. Thanks.

Has anyone confirmed whether the offer is limited to the cards shown or to all cards except SR, Visa, MC? I went to ShopRite yesterday and there were no signs and the customer service was useless. They read the same useless, confusing T & C in the flyer.

The text is clearly different than the last two weeks’ offers. Instead of “Any Gift Card” it now says these select Gift Cards. Has anyone been able to get BP Gas Gift Card at Shoprite? I can’t find them…tried at 3 different shoprite stores.

Hi MisterCheap. You are doing a great job over here as expected. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Thanks, OP. Is there a search option in the forum?
