Have you checked out Hyvee's, I think there is one by you. I believe they have promotions from time to time for buying GC (including Disney) and getting 4x points for gas purchases.Yes, the shipping definitely sucks, biting into my ebucks. Right now, the amount I have in ebay cards to use for churning, will still net me an okay profit, particularly with a 5x promo. So, most recently with GCM GS cards, I think on 10 cards ($1000), I spent 11.90 shipping (IIRC), so I'd get $10 in ebates, and $100 in ebucks, minus the 11.90. Still almost a hundred dollars free that I wouldn't have had. BB cards were better with no shipping, of course, but a direct way to Disney gc's. Now if I do that with the WGS's it'd cost me another $8, so a smaller amount but still profit. Certainly things were much better with the Target churning. The money I have currently in ebay cards I could either cash into Disney now and just keep it for my trips and be done. Or I could churn with a smaller profit, while I can still churn, using GS till that changes, WGC which is new, or BB depending on being able to get some BB easily or not. I figure I might as well keep working it while I can. I've put enough money out already so want to put out just enough on a bigger promo to still net more than I'd have if I'd done nothing. I don't have Krogers or rewards cards other than SW card and a Disney rewards card. And that and buying discounted Target would still require more cash outlay which would be more than shipping. Maybe my math is wrong but for me I think I'll still make more 'free money' spending a little more in shipping, but that's all the extra I'm spending. A small promo would definitely not be worth doing at all, so mainly 5x , maybe some 4x and a bit of BB gc's ocassionally if that works. I'll just have to keep working the numbers to see what's gonna work or not.
Speaking of Walgreens, does anyone use their rewards points program? I just downloaded it and there's something on there about using fitness apps to get rewards points through Walgreens. Wondering if my daily walking/jogging routine can also go towards buying gift cards there. Anyone checked this out?
Yes, thanks for the reminder. Some guys I works with were telling me about this. They walk to the corner W on Fridays and the steps convert to a free tall boy (beer) lol. Which saves them about $10 over what they would pay at the train station.
