Just confirming through personal experience that you cannot buy the MyVanilla Visa using a credit card. I tried and it looks like it is working, but then the cashier got a message on her screen saying something like this product is not eligible to pay for with a credit card. The cashier let me try to pay with credit to see if it would work, but the registers are hard wired not to accept credit cards anymore for these types of prepaid cards. I wonder if you can pay for other types of gift cards with a credit card, like gift cards to department stores or restaurants?

I have been able to purchase Home Depot and restaurant cards with credit in the past.

That is correct, FullTimeDad.

Another cash out option would be to go to a MoneyPass ATM.

ATM withdrawal fee is $1.95:

There is an additional surcharge if you do not use a MoneyPass ATM. You can use the ATM locator found here to find one. Make sure the ATM has the moneypass logo.

If possible, I recommend buying the card with $201.95, not $200 like i did. This will allow you to withdraw an even $200 and zero the account. I’m going to be stuck with some change on the card.

They may only allow purchasing cards with whole dollar amounts though.

Thanks, the ATM withdrawal might be a simpler way to go. Chase Freedom 5% for Q1 2019 includes drugstores, so that should serve to defer the fee and increase the MM of the deal.

Confirmed buying $200 vanilla visa gives $20 BC

paid $202.95
Got $200 card + 20 BC

The limit is 1 $200 card per Wellness card.

There is also a 50 cent per transaction fee each time you use it. For that reason, I recommend using it up in one transaction, perhaps paying or prepaying a utilty.

You may want to wait until Tuesday to purchase so you can get 2019 Wellness points if you have already earned your 1,000 Wellness points for this year.

Ok, so dumb question, but to completely use the card you would need to pay $199.50, 50 cents get deducted for the fee, and the card would be zeroed out?

@delcheapo said in Target.com: 10% Off Target Gift Cards *Sunday 12/2 Only*:

So if you’re already a red card holder this is really only an extra 5% discount correct? I don’t think you can get 5% off your total purchase (say for a purchase next week), then use the GC you bought today for an extra 10% savings. When you pay with GC the additional 5% Red Card savings goes away right?

Correct.

@mrvietnam said in $10 AMAZON Gift Card with 5 coke codes:

That’s strange. I registered and was entering my Coke cap codes and everything looked fine until I got to my final cap code. After I entered that I got this error message:

WE’RE SORRY

It looks like you’re ineligble to win the prize.

WE LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM

However, you’ve already entered five cap codes and earned your $10 Amazon.com Gift Card and five sweepstakes entries.**

I knew this offer sounded to good to be true. Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder if I did anything wrong? Looks like I wasted 4 of my cap codes for nothing.

Same thing happened to me.

Supercenter stores are not crediting the 5% for me. Regular stores are crediting.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples $10/$30 Coupon for E-cycling 11/11-11/17:

I gave them a coffee maker since the email said they take coffee makers. I walked in and mentioned that the ad said that and AM knew what I was talking about. Said he thought it was the first year they’d put that in the ad. This is a coffee maker I’ve had in the FREE box at my annual yard sale for several years and no one has wanted it. Happy to have it gone! Picked up $1k in Visa gc while I was there. (Chase Ink 5% back at office supply stores.)

I’m about $300 shy of Premier and deciding how to finish it off. I’ll probably buy ink this week since they’re giving 25% back in Rewards on $75+ ink purchases.

I assume the Visa were $200 cards. Was the fee waived on all or just one?

All of the Sir Kensington rebates were there yesterday, but are gone from my Ibotta today.

@MrsGuin is there a reason you don’t answer? there is no offer for this item at Giant and I am trying to determine where you got the info. is it wrong? freebies like this are not YMMV in the apps.

@dangeRuss @fivetalents this is what I go through with her.
Not Mrs. G, but I saw this posted at LRWC in the Stop & Shop thread as a Friday freebie at S&S & Giant. I use Giant PA, and the offer did not show in my app.

@my4mainecoons Got it, thanks!
