@mistercheap You can split it up for 3 merchants and redeem for $25 each. That is no problem.

Great, just back, got $225 in various types of (purple and dark grey). In addition to AMZ, good stores for me include Chewy/Petsmart/Southwest Air/Subway/Lowes and some others. Very pleased. My expiration is 6/26 so far more than 7 days. I’ll use them strategically. I understand your rationale for $5/5, but since you can only get once per trans, would take forever doing 10 transactions for $250 GC’s total. $15 is manageable for me at a time, especially given the 21 days window.

@MrVietnam how does the cashier know what kind of card you’re swiping?
@MISTERCHEAP I was just saying that using Chase Ink for prepaid Visa/MC gc to buy gc at Acme gets you the 5% back when its not the one quarter per year that Discover offers 5% back. I buy the VC/MC for anticipated expenses like dental visits, car insurance, quarterly health insurance and major purchases. Having 3 windows replaced this summer ($12K) and will buy prepaids to use at the lumber yard. IDK when it happened but the Chase 5% spending cap went from $15K to $25K a year! I keep 2-3 $200 prepaids on hand for unexpected bills.

I’ve posted about these deals and Zillions cards several times, not sure why only now it’s being discussed.😉 I prefer the smaller deals like $5/$5 for buying $25 gc and $10/$10 for buying $50. Sometimes I stacked the $5/$5 or $10/$10 with a Fresh Pass $5/$5.

In Feb. I bought $25 PetSmart and Chewy (via Zift Zillions) gc for $5/$5’s. In March bought 8@$50 Lowe’s gc and 2@$50 Zillions cards. Bought a stove from Lowe’s to use up the gc, had 10 @$10/$10 to use in 2 weeks. In April I bought 8@$25 Zillions cards (Ace HW) and have used half of those already. The rest will be used in July. Always purchased on Sat or Sunday for 4x points. Always paid with prepaid Visa/MC from Staples for 5% Chase Ink.

@my4mainecoons what piqued my interest in the Zillions was the ability to redeem for Amazon. It’s hard to find Supermarkets that even carry AMZ cards these days as they view them as a competitor where groceries are concerned. They opened an Amazon Fresh grocery story near me 8 months ago that I’ve been going to quite often and can pay with the AMZ GC’s there. Also for PRIME renewals and other stuff bought on AMZ. Just can’t buy non AMZ with AMZ GC’s.

A question for you on these ZILLION cards say $75 is loaded on one card, do you have to redeem for one merchant card for $75 or can you split it up into 3/$25 redemptions? TIA

@mrvietnam said in 100% back in FETCH pts wyb TWO Pepsi Zero 20 oz at Walmart B&M (reg. $2.48 each) | Ends 6/8:

I also have two more 100% back deals on my Fetch account. One is for 2 free Kinder chocolate singles and the other is for Pedigree Drizzlers dog food (limit 3). You have to keep in mind that free is not really free. When cashing out on Fetch for a $50 gift card you will pay 10% in points extra to get that $50 gift card, so these 100% back items are cheap, but not free (expecially if you have to pay a bottle fee and sales tax like you do here in CA). I wish Fetch offered you to cash out for $100 gift cards, too.

A lot of these 100% items go quickly, so even if it says the rebate is good for a few days or weeks, I highly recommend going to get it right away. The rebates for the nicer items often go fast. I remember about a month ago Fetch offered 100% back on 3 packs of Best Foods mayonnaise at Sam’s Club and you could do the deal several times. The deal was supposed to be valid for about a week. I looked for the deal before going to Sam’s Club about two days into it and it was already not available anymore.

agreed on the 100% back in points, which is why I titled the post that way. the op is copy/pasted from another site and they say ‘free’ but I know better, I’ll have to edit the op.

most decent $50 GC are priced in the 53-55,000 points range. so 8.5-10% devaluation of points. I’ve never understood why Fetch feels compelled to do that. I can understand on the prepaid Visa type cards, but if I choose to cash out for a GC on Ibotta, it’s straight $ for $ on merchant cards. It’s a little shady IMO and they aren’t very transparent about how they come up with these ‘prices’ for GC’s. I mean Acme/Alb are 54,500 for $50? come on.

@mistercheap IDK if you have a Chase Ink. I buy the $200 prepaid gc when there’s no activation fee. Get 5% back. Use those gc to buy GC at the supermarket year round.

I use prepaid gc for anything that’s not giving me at least 5% back. Top Cashback doesn’t allow prepaid cards to be used on gc purchases.

Discover also has the 5% Grocery promo right now, using that to pay, getting tomorrow when the 4x points kicks in.

PS, yes @my4mainecoons I do have Chase Ink. Always leery of sitting on $100’s if not $1000’s of dollars of prepaid cards. But it’s a good suggestion if you’re not adverse to going that route.

This FREEBIE at Walmart is great to add to your list! The Pepsi Zero 20 oz bottles are priced at $2.48 at most stores, and limit is 2 if you have the Fetch offer! Do this in-store so you have a receipt to submit. This deal expires on Sunday June 8, so HURRY!

@my4mainecoons Thank you! That really was very helpful.

I’ve bought a lot of these and the $15/$15 didn’t expire in 7 days, it expired at the end of the promotion. So if you purchase on e.g. June 6 it doesn’t expire until after June 19.

Don’t forget to activate 4x j4u points for gc purchases on Saturday AM and to purchase on Saturday or Sunday.

The Zift Zillions cards offer options that aren’t on the participating card list. e.g. Amazon, Wayfair, Chili’s, Subway, PetSmart, Chewy, Staples, Macy’s, etc. You can only activate 2 Zillions cards a day “for security reasons”.

Home Depot and Xbox are not on Zillions and never included in these gc offers.
Shaws doesn’t carry Ace HW gc but Ace is included on Zillions. So I bought Zillions and redeemed for Ace egc.

@my4mainecoons not familiar with the ‘zift’ cards, do they work just like a regular Amazon GC or can you only buy certain items with it? Info online about how they work is confusing. Thx for the help.
