My purchases from Apr 8 have posted and I received add’l 4 pts bonus with Chase INK+ and InkCash CCs : )

@noahbody yes, there are Visa variable everywhere cards ~ Grocery, Dining, Style Everywhere that have $4.95 fees and qualify for the $15 off. That’s why for every $400 I buy, I pay only $394.90 which gives me instant $5.10 profit and fee is paid by the offer. These cards may not be available at all OD/OM. Check google to see what these everywhere cards look like so you have an idea what to look for.

If you buy the regular fixed $200 and $100 Visa GCs, the fees are higher where you’ll pay $297.90 (312.90 - 15) for $300 worth of card load. This gives you a profit of $2.10 plus CC rewards.
HTH.

@noahbody I paid $394.90 for every 2 $200 Grocery everywhere Visa cards which gave me $5.10 profit PLUS 1974.5 URs with my Ink cards (Xing my fingers I’ll get add’l 4 pts per dollar spent).

For those who buy $200 fixed Visa GCs, it’ll be $413.90 with fees which gives $1.10 profit plus URs for using INK cards or other rewards depending on CC used.

Hopefully, I’ll get 5% on this purchase using the Chase Ink+ and InkCash cards. More and more DPs are coming that people got only 1 pt (base pts, no bonus) for GC purchases at Staples and OD/OM during the last GC sale when they used AXP Simply cash that’s why I’m sticking with Chase cards for now.

@mistercheap sad to say emails were sent last month that starting Apr 1, giftcards won’t earn rewards at all. Check Doctor of Credit for full article regarding this issue.

The deal is back ~ get $15 off instantly wyb $300 or more Visa GCs. Best to use CCs that give 5% rewards like Chase INK+ and/
or Chase INK. Caution on using Amex Simply Business Cash especially to meet minimum spend requirement because OD/OM submits L3 data and this shows as giftcard purchase which the rats will see and will possibly deny the sign up bonus for these. So far, Chase has given 5% on these GCs during the last promo.

For those intending to buy VGCs in-store using PPDC backed up by Freedom card(s), DOC has posted new developments:

I didn’t see this deal posted here, I got the email to activate offer for free eggs up to $2 at Target. You have to activate the offer before you buy them at Target. Offer expires 4/5 so make sure to activate offer, buy the eggs and take a pic of the receipt and submit asap.

You can double dip and submit same receipt to Ibotta for an add’l 0.25 credit.

@fivetalents said in Featured GC rewards for PayPal Extras MC credit card month of March:

@Ma-Barker I didn’t think you had this card since you didn’t chime in on this thread: https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/5673/paypal-cashback-mastercard-questions. Are they different products? When did you get yours and what do you think of it so far?

If you scroll down on that thread, you’ll see my reply, third from the bottom.

Yes, I think the 2% PP Mastercard is different from the PayPal Extras MC which I have. I got this card late 2014, IIRC. Synchrony changed their T&C last year so I took it out of the sock drawer. Then when I saw WM GCs under their featured rewards in a month, I redeemed those instead of CB since WM GCs are more valuable to me when I get 10000 pts for $100 GC compared to 12000 pts = $100. This means I get to keep 2000 pts for the next redemption. I know many detest dealing with PayPal but so far, I have managed to toe their line with no difficulty.

I also like the fact that points I earned on the current statement is redeemable immediately unlike cashback from AXP blue cash which is delayed for one statement.

For March, under GC featured rewards, ebay GCs starting from $25 up to $100 are shown with the pts required for each ebay GC. It is currently 1:1 so 2500 pts can be redeemed for $25 ebay GC. This is mailed to cardholder as physical card which one can re-sell if they wish.

Hilton business GCs are also featured but not as good as ebay GCs. For a $25 Hilton business GC, one need 2805 pts instead of the regular 3300 pts.
I put WM GCs on my wishlist to make it easy to redeem them when they’re part of featured GCs on sale for the month.
