@mistercheap My Chase debit card has 40% back on a new SC membership. Net Profit is enhanced. (other cards may have similar sweeteners.)

I have that too, so yes, pay $9 after Chase credit, earn 30,000 points, thx for the reminder.

Check your FETCH app for this. My current membership is up in August, I may do it for the MM. at least a $10mm even if you factor in 10-12% markup on some gift cards like Amazon.

@sonofzeus said in EBAY to end EBay Plastic/Digital Gift Cards Aug 3, see post for details (current GC's will not expire):

Saw this days ago on DOC. Didn’t think it was important enough to post here.

Given some of us do cash out points for EBAY GC’s on some platforms, that option will likely go away. So redeem before it isn’t an option any more.

Starting August 3, 2026, eBay will no longer sell physical or digital eBay gift cards online. For a limited period, physical eBay gift cards will remain available for sale in select stores.

If you already have an eBay gift card, you can continue to use your balance on eBay just as you do today. In the U.S., gift card balances do not expire.

If you return an item, we may still offer you the ability to choose an eBay gift card as your refund option.

ShopRite supermarket is great if you’re in that area. Sadly, it’s 200 mi. south of me.

I might get Domino’s and freeze it.

Yeah, I have ShopRite but if this is only for online ordering, the service fees kind of kill it. I don’t usually order enough online pickup $ wise to meet the min for no service fee.

@mistercheap Unless it’s changed, they’re in the Philippines. Their English and CS is better than Pakistan/India.

My main complaint is, it is NOT a dedicated FP “Hotline”, although they list it as one in the FP area. It’s the same general c/s number they seemed clueless what I was talking about with the downgraded redemption options.
