I prepaid my cable internet with the AXP sync offer of 10% off on up to $300. I got $90 credits after using three cards with the offer and have noted it on my calendar when all my credits are used up. The opportunity cost I “lost” in this case is losing the bonus on a 5x card but since the $30 credits came up higher than what I’ll earn from UR, I chose the AXP sync offer.
It’s wishful thinking for the best WM prepaid to come back…the black preferred prepaid which is the ugliest I got but one of the best for MS purposes. Those who still have this card know what I’m talking about, I wish I could’ve registered for more than two before they discontinued it in Jan 2016 
No fees when I load $500 or more per month which is not hard to do with VGCs and loading is free at any WM.
Free Trolli or Black Forrest Gummies - Buy one at $2, Get $2 eb. = FREE
check stores for the .25/1 tearpads that expire early 2018 to get these better than free.
Now it’s really over for most…I just read on doc’s site and reddit that VGCs are now hardcoded as credit at the USPS This means that even if you have friendly clerk who knows you, they cannot override your payment if it comes up as credit. Better find another way to drain your VGCs if you have any left OR if you can’t find anywhere to drain them, best NOT to keep buying them with intent to hoard because these can easily be hacked by thieves that’s why MSers drain them within 24 hrs after activation to avoid their funds getting stolen.
@honkinggoose you’re welcome 
btw, the offer for regular savings has been extended until 12/18/2017 with a little modification. It’s still $150 bonus on $15K but to get the $200 bonus, total deposit is $25K. New bonus code is SN17. Funds must be received by 01/02/18 to receive the bonus.
They started with a new reward system as of 11/1. I checked MyVerizon app and clicked UpRewards and saw I have 1 credit I can spend on any offer. My choices were $5 Amzn GC, $5 Barnes n Noble GC, 2 GB data and NFL packet thingey. DH wanted the free 2GB since he uses a lot of data.
The smart rewards has been shelved and replaced by UpRewards. Check the offers you got.
@harperr yes you can. I bought five $200s, use 4 amex CCs and paid the fees with 3% CC.
I dread to be the bearer of bad news for most MSers who drain their VGCs at the post office. There is a circulating memo to varied POs you can read from milesperday website. For now, people are saying it’s YMMV depending on clerks if they’ll enforce this memo but to avoid scrutiny, it may be best to avoid subtracting the fee (I think it’s $1.20?) from $500 VGCs and come up with varied amounts like $491.72 AND SWIPE ONLY ONE card (although this’ll come up more fees) instead of the usual practice of two to four cards which will definitely arouse suspicion that you’re using VGCs.
If the PO is the only way to drain your VGCs, it is best to find other ways now before the PO hardcodes no acceptance of prepaid debit cards to their system. Reports say they are currently upgrading their system. As long as it is up to the clerk who will not ask to see your debit card, you’re fine but best to avoid suspicion by sticking to just one swipe.
Check your AXP personal cards for $25/$250 on Best Buy and you receive $25 as statement credit or MR 2500 pts. I prefer the $25 statement credit to account. Although offer expires 12/31, if you see them under your offers and you don’t save them on each account, they may be removed on the list once the quota is filled so make sure to save them to your accounts ASAP. This offer gets filled quickly and it’s not available on twitter if you didn’t get them in your account.
$25 off $250 on Best Buy AXP sync offer is back on most personal cards. I didn’t get them in my business cards.
I get the credits from buying 5 $200 VGCs (not all BBYs carry VGCs now) and pay with 4 AXP cards. Some stores enforce limits on how many you can buy that’s why I buy them in batches of $1000 per transaction. I’ve also gotten Elite Plus status just buying VGCs and I bank my points until I have at least $100 worth in certificates.
