Sorry for the late response:
I saw it too but mistakenly thought it was an offer for new subscribers so Thank You for posting!!
Yes, the BB off Laguna BLvd had no problem with me purchasing Disney or eBay with BB GC. It's been a while since I flipped to eBay, but I finally used BB eGC I had purchased from PPDG before I was banned from PayPal, to purchase Disney last week.
I can't decide if that's the dumbest promotion I ever seen or the most brilliant. The shop your way terms I just read did indeed exclude gift card purchases... and Raise only sells gift cards if I'm not mistaken.
Interesting. I might order a 25.00 gift card off of Raise or Cardpool and take it in store and see if it would work. If not, there are plenty of scripts I get filled I could use it on.
I dont see anything saying it excludes gift card purchases on the terms for the Raise deal, but I haven't tried it. FWIW, I've been credited with shop your way rewards for gift card purchases from the Disney Store, and that was at 30% points back at the time...right now it's at 20%. I did have other items in the same transactions though.
The gc on raise tend to be store credit which apparently aren't the same as the SVM gc and cannot be used for other gc per previous reports on here. I've not tried it. To test I went to Walgreens and just got a $25 card and then went to another one and got a Disney card with that.
I used them earlier this year. They worked fine, and ocassionally had a better percentage back then ebates, but they did takes whine to get posted to my account, and then weeks to get 'confirmed' and then a single for payout. But eventually I got $83!
Always! It's super easy, fast, and convenient!
I thought about doing that too, but holding off until maybe I see another good trade deal! I was lucky with particular titles on sale at GS and coinciding with the particular titles they were giving $25 for at BB. When they goofed on one and thought it wasn't On the $25 list, they were gonna give me only $9, so that woulda been a loss. I'll just keep an eye here in case Jkalai posts any super good deals again! I would have actually made money if I could have bought all titles for the about $20 price(using the power up card to get 10% off), but had to do some at the closer to $25 per game to break even since had to do so many titles but only three per title per system, to use all the gc's.
Yeah definitely be careful on which cards anyone is buying! The in store credit cards that I saw, (the ones I saw are white and blue and say Duanereads on them, not sure what that is), and they do say specifically on them that they cannot be used to purchase another giftcard. The red ones from svm (carried in stores, too), do not say anything about gc's and are the ones that work to buy gc with gc.
