I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Shop At Home is offering an additional $5 cash back on purchases of $150. Only 1 allowed per day and a max of 3 during the promotion. Ends on 4/30/16. Shop at home is similar to Ebates in case you haven't heard of it.

so hoping theres a promo tomorrow since its tax day and since it would add to ebays mix of the unknown for ebucks

Thanks! I just used my ebay bucks to buy ebay GCs. I went through SB because they're offering 2 SB per $ but if it doesn't credit, I don't care. I'd rather make sure that I don't lose those ebay bucks while waiting for a bonus offer!

Omg, this is a fabulous idea. I was toying with spending my $300 Ebay bucks on Target GC's but I think with $4.98 shipping + $6 Ebay bucks and $3 Ebates I was looking at netting like $4.. which isn't bad but I don't think I could turn them around in time for a promo next week. So I may just do that, so that I have the peace of mind. Thanks!!

Tomorrow isn't tax day. It's Monday. Tomorrow is the day DC (including the IRS) is celebrating Emancipation Day.

When did Tax day change? It's always been April 15th.

Since April 15 is on a Saturday, they bump the due date for taxes to the next weekday.

Emancipation Day is a Washington DC holiday. It falls on April 15th this year. The city will be off work to observe the day. Hence, the IRS will be closed. So, taxes are due on Monday (April 18th) instead.

Since April 15 is on a Saturday, they bump the due date for taxes to the next weekday.

Check your calendar. Tomorrow is April 15th and it's a Friday.

I might do the same. Are those egift cards? Can you just buy one for your full amount of ebucks?

I had to go look it up, since I was so confused. I never knew this!

From the timeanddate website:

"In 1913 Tax Day, or the filing deadline, was fixed on March 1. However, it was moved to March 15 in 1918 and April 15 in 1955, where it has remained since then. If April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a civil holiday, such as Patriot's Day, the deadline is extended to the next working day. An extension due to a holiday may only affect certain states. In 2007, the residents of some states were granted an extension due to the disruption to public life in many areas caused by a huge Nor'easter storm. In some years in Washington DC, Emancipation Day may be the reason to extend the deadline for filing an income tax return (Tax Day). In 2007, the observance Emancipation Day in Washington DC had the effect of nationally extending the 2006 income tax filing deadline from April 16 to April 17. This 2007 date change was not discovered until after many forms went to print.

I went to gamestop today and turned $200 worth of their giftcards into ebay. I had an email before I even got home that I have unlocked a $25 reward certificate. Unless they restock, I can only do another $150 in gamestop at my Kmart, but I can hit one of the Indy area stores tomorrow when I take my kiddos to their Dad, anyway. Between Kmart->gamestop->ebay and kroger fuel points, I have most of my churning money back to ebay/target

I sat on my ebay bucks in October ($300+) and ended up turning it to target on the 31st because I didn't get the offer (or 2) they had in October. In January I used mine (just $100 this time) on the 4x on 1/21 for a free shipping Kmart $100 card. I'm holding out for the 1st or so this month (mine expire 5/2).

Unless you live in Massachusetts or Maine. Then it Tuesday April 19th. Government offices are closed on Monday for Patriots day.

 

[asgaga]

the reason why we didnt convert ebay bucks into ebay gift cards was the 5k limit. since ebay bucks didnt count for the limit, it was more important to keep them as bucks.

Since the limit has been removed its okay to change it into ebay gift cards. this is one of those new things that i forgot about

 

[DIS_MERI]

Are we totally sure it is okay to buy ebay gift cards with ebay bucks? I know that paypal used to give warnings for buying ebay gift cards with ebay gift cards, but since I guess they aren't handling them anymore, there might not be an issue with it??? I'm fairly conservative with my churning, plus I think I'd rather still get 2% ebay bucks and get something else digital....

DIS_MERI, Queen of Gamestop Churning. You are awesome!

Guess I've always used April 15 at tax day when taxes are due. even my calendar sent a reminder that its tomorrow.

You can buy them for whatever denominations ebay sells gift cards for. You may have to add a little to round it up to a denomination, it is up to you.

I have done it every quarter for the last year and a half (so about six times), no issues. Ebay doesn't seem to be as picking about these things as paypal and target are.

ETA - I think ebay has totally killed the buying ebay gift cards with ebay gift cards recently, but it appears the ebay bucks to ebay gift cards is still working.

I am so tempted to cash in my Ebay bucks. Anyone else?! We are leaving for a WDW trip on Saturday and we'll only be gone 4 days but I am losing hope for an Ebay bucks promo this round. I guess I can just suck it up and wait until Tuesday to see if there's a promo.

Usually, there's not an ebucks promotion during the ebucks redemption period. There are a few discounted gift cards on ebay. I'm just using mine to purchase ebay gift cards. Then, I'll redeem for other gift cards after the promotion.

I was just going to comment the same thing - this used to be an issue, but no longer.

The added benefit of converting to ebay gc is that you could theoretically use it with another account. So if the next promo came on your spouse's account and not yours, you could convert to ebay gc & use with your spouse's account (or vice-versa, obviously).

I ordered my eBay GCs from PPDG around 2 PM and they were in my inbox less than an hour later. That was AFTER PP had me verify my account 3 TIMES - twice online and once again about 20 minutes later with a phone call to my landline! I guess that it was because I had such a large order ($500) and because it's a digital order.

The order did go through and the ebay bucks were accepted as payment. At first, I was concerned because the automated phone call from PayPal was verifying a $500 transaction when the only amount actually coming out of my PP account was 61¢. But after logging into my account, I could see that the ebucks came off as a voucher and the only amount taken from my PP balance was the 61¢.
