Just an update on my last day staples purchase. It never went pending that i saw and i checked it often. Late last night it was approved and in my rewards. Yay! I was dreading adding that into my spreadsheet and bringing my % savings down lol.

Also did swagbucks at BB on Wed with sb qr code and chase pay and it also worked I used my husbands SB account so i could get the extra referral credit.

Well, I guess I can still hold out some hope that mine will eventually credit. I noticed that my Home Depot purchase (made on 9/30) is pending and won't be "approved" until 10/14. I'm not in a hurry since I am using this money for my trip NEXT October, but still...I'm antsy.

Has anyone on here used Dosh with Sam's Club and not get credit? It's been a month ago since my purchase. Credit never showed up. I emailed their support a week after the purchase. They asked for a copy of the receipt, and then confirmed they got it and would have their Tech team investigate. But they've completely ignored all my follow-up emails since. It's been 3 weeks. Just wondering if it's a lost cause... I probably won't use the app again since it doesn't seem like they provide any support...

Ok, it's crunch time our trip is in 3 weeks, so I need to finish getting what we'll need for food/spending.

DH and I each have a Freedom card. Thinking the Sam's/Freedom/Dosh is the best thing going right now.

That should be about a 14% discount (really more for me b/c I can tfr my UR points to my Reserve and redeem at 1.5x).

I noticed some people mentioning use Dosh for Sam's online, is that right? If so, I could prob stack with the RMN Sams offers (think it's $5 back for $50 or 60 something like that). Only hiccup I can think of is right now the 150 packs are out of stock online

So just putting that out there for feedback. Not overlooking a better deal am I? Or anyone know if you click thru RMN, if Dosh won't work for some reason.

I did the math yesterday and the swagbucks best buy deal was a bigger savings. (except I no longer have reserve so i didnt calculate at 1.5X) i did the RMN online save $5 on $45 sams club for some protein bars and it didnt work

Oh ok, didn't realize it was. That's great. Can you explain though? Trying to figure it out...but all I could come up with was...
7.5% savings with SB + 5% Chasepay, right? So that's 12.5. I must be missing something else.

The 14% savings with sam's/dosh is =>
4% Sam's cost itself
5% CB via Dosh
5% Freedom
Total of 14% before taking into account cc points being worth more or possibly double dipping with a RMN offer.

I've ordered prob 3-4 orders of 150 pack gift cards via sam's with the RMN offer. So far all have credited. Now the offers are on the amount before tax and shipping. I know I messed up a jane order that way

Oh, I forgot about the 2% CB at Best Buy with SB. That must be the difference. May do both, that will cut down on trips. Since there are limits at each.

There’s a “happy kid” gift card on sale for 20% more than you pay (pay $50, get a $60 gc) at Giftcardmall and it’s good for Rainforest Cafe.

Actually, looks like all the Happy cards are on special. These get run as a credit so you can use the ones for Bed Bath Beyond, Buy Buy Baby and Home Depot for Disney GC's without having to worry about GC >GC. I see JCP and B&N too but not sure if they carry Disney. The special makes it a 16% discount. "Offer valid from 10/05/2018 to 10/09/2018"

 

[VGCgroupie]

based this on $300, 3 separate $100 purchases
7.50 bonus x3
2.00 shop & earn x3
.50 best buy rewards x3
5.00 chase pay x3
.95 (referral bonus for buying via my husbands sb acct) x3
since Sb 1 x per month GC are only 2200 sb for $25 worth you are getting an extra $3.00
16.9% savings
Without the 3.00 savings by redeeming for gift card via sb 1x per month and without referral bonus for using my husbands account it would be 13.3%

Have you done this? I'm intrigued but haven't tried

I have not myself yet because there hasn't been a deal worth trying, but 16% is tempting. I looked into the cards before when Acme had a promo and they state to run as credit, Visa network it seems. (but it was only fuel points or something for the Dining card that I didn't need so never bought it) So I figured it would work and then I found this comment on a DoC article to confirm it where he tried it at Home Depot and bought a HD gift card with it and it worked: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/meta...ongside-their-everywhere-line/#comment-624838

Side note - why the heck would you buy a HD gift card with a prepaid card??? Unless he's referring to a different gift card that HD just carries. But someone else's insanity is a DP for me I guess.

That's the dp I'd seen. Safeway also has them for 10-15%off

Ah ha, finally got my Acme app to refresh and it's got the Happy coupons now. 7.50 (15%) off Happy Kid (Buy buy Baby) and Happy Teen (Barnes & Noble), only 10% for Happy Guy (HD) and Happy Lady (Bed Bath). Wonder if the Buy Buy Baby would work at Bed Bath, I don't have one of those close by.

Have you bought any through Giftcardmall? I see that the deal adds $10 (20%) to every $50 card bought. Was wondering if B,B,& B lets you buy Disney giftcards with these. I need $600 more in GC, which looks like would only cost $500. Am I figuring this right? I am really tired right now, lol.

They get run as a credit card, so as long as your BB&B accepts credit for the GCs you should be good. And yep, math is correct The downside is only $50 Happy cards so you need 10 and have to wait for shipping. But if you can't do better than 16.66% in the time you have left, this seems easy.

Do you have a store in the Safeway network nearby? You could get one at 10% discount to try it before putting the large order in. I'm pretty confident in it, so I'd risk it, but I don't have first hand experience to give you on this one yet.

Thanks for this information. I’m going to check it out. Anything helps!

Thank you for the reply! I shop at Target all the time. I will have to apply for a RedCard.

So if you purchase a Disney gift card at Target and use your red card, you will save 5% or do they exclude gift cards?

So I have a question about Dosh. It says you have to have at least $25 with them to cash out. However you can only cash out to PayPal for $20 max. So am I perpetually stuck with $5 in my account?
