I just bought $4200 worth of target gift cards in-store and got the 10% discount on all of them. They were all purchased $300 at a time with the same credit card.
My Plan started out with visiting 2 stores near me. I also brought a hat and another jacket. I had 2 credit cards that I could use. I figured I could go to one then the other change and do it again and then get another online.
I arrived exactly as the 1st store opened and immediately went to the register. Then went to 2nd store and they had the 4 self checkout registers but was manned by a worker. After buying the 2nd, I went into the store to get something I needed and then was going to try another register. They were all long lines. So I went to the self checkout and was able to get another $300 card. Total of $900 so far.
I went out to the car to drop off the item I bought and was planning to go back to the first store. I said screw it. I will go back in and buy as many as they will let me get before someone says something.
So I went back in and grabbed one off the rack and went to the self checkout registers. Bought that one and went back to the rack to get another. This way, I was not holding up the lines buying a dozen cards one at a time. $1500 so far.
On the next one, the worker manning the self checkout registers came up to me and I thought that this was it. She said 'You can buy all them in one transaction. You don't have to buy one at a time.' So I asked if I would get the 10% on all them. She looked perplexed and said she didn't know about the discount and watched me ring it in so she could see the discount. She was amazed.
Then she started asking why I was buying so much. I knew I was in the clear to buy all I wanted. I then told her why and about the additional 5% discount online. She was amazed and left me be.
I have all I need now to pay for my maintenance fees, flight down, and spending money.
I might buy more from Raise.com if the discount gets better than 12% and get ahead for next year.
