Can you earn kicks at BB by buying gift cards with a BB gift card? Or do you only get kicks if you use a credit card?

Regarding Kroger

I have not heard anyone talk about the 1% cashback in rebate form. I am not sure if this is only from Fred Meyer or other Kroger stores too. Maybe someone with more experience can say.

Yes on bb rewards when paying with gift card. I'm a Kroger shopper but have never heard about a 1% rebate.

Hmmm I bought $300 worth of eBay gift cards today using BB gift cards. The SA scanned my phone, but I did not get any kicks.

I don't get the rebate from QFC when I buy gift cards, only when I buy at Fred Meyer. Do you have a Fred Meyer by any chance?

I bought a $100 Disney gift card two weeks ago with two $50 BB gift cards and got 200 kicks.

Thank you! Yes and no(if it helps, lol). So which date is my start date to count back from? So they went back 60 days from 7/28 or from 7/15? Okay, if you don't mind, though it's a bit awkward, here's my dates and spent. When can I spend any again with this info: Jun 8 $800, 22 $900, 28 $900, 29 $1000, Jul 15 $1000, (got lucky, easy flips all BB, so flipped quick between Jun 28/29), and 20 $1000(GS). They still let me spend $1000 on July 20th, and there's more than $2000 in the previous days. Seems like I won't be spending at all in Aug or even Sep, but not sure I'm figuring right. Again, your help is much appreciated, Thank you.

Ok that's pretty easy. You spent 2k since 7/15 so start there. You should be able to spend 1k around 9/14 (60 days from 7/15) and then another 1k will free up on 9/19.

I have done this once before and it took a day or two to credit.

I guess I will give it a couple days to see if it shows up. I appreciate learning about SK on this thread.

It took about two days for mine to show up. Maybe three.

I found the gift card...it was actually near the top of the dumpster in a bag so I didn't even have to dig very far. Phew! That's a little bit of a load off. Plus, when I input the $100 cash outlay into my 2017 spreadsheet, I'm still working with 75% savings so I'm still in really good shape. This is just a small glitch in the grand scheme of things.

Very glad to hear you found your gift card! If it makes you feel any better, I lost a couple of $25 Disney cards about a month ago in a mad dash to clean up the house. They were long gone before I realized I'd misplaced them.

Which leads me to my PSA. When you get any gift card, enter the gift card number (& PIN, if applicable) into your spreadsheet. I have 2 columns in my spreadsheets for gift card numbers - one for the gift card I receive from a transaction and another column for gift cards numbers I use in transactions. I even have 1 more column that contains the balance of any gift card, so I know if it's on order, received with a full balance, partially used (and how much is left), or completely spent. On top of that, since I have access to more than one ebay account, I also have a column to tell me which account I've used the gift card with, which has come in handy quite a bit, both for partially used cards and for calculating how much I've spent in the last X months.

As much of a pain/extra work this seems to be, I totally wish I had done this from the beginning. I feel like, and some of my rough numbers seem to suggest that, some of my money has slipped through the cracks. Not a huge amount - some numbers are off by a total of less than $10. But, when the eBay>target>eBay was really working, I wish I had paid closer attention. Now that I'm mostly doing Kroger >Target>Disney it isn't AS complicated. However, I have been keeping better records. And I never throw away a physical eBay, Target, or Disney gift card...

Thank you, kool_kat! Yikes, that's gonna be awhile, lol! And I gotta hope there is a good, hopefully 5x, at least 4x after 9/13 so I can make something more for ebucks for my Nov trip by the end of Sep/quarter. This new system really stinks and is pretty limiting for sure! Limits to like maybe three promos a quarter. Ugh!
Thanks again, kool_kat!

You could always open an ebay business account in your name, this is what I did. The limit is $1000 in gift cards for the first 90 days and you likely won't get an ebucks promotion for awhile, but it would be good for any gift card deals or coupons that come up, or regular purchases.

Southwest Rapid Rewards is offering a 2,500 bonus for spending $1500. Ebay, Target, BJs are all .5pts/$.
3250 pts are about $50/3%ish.

Darn it! I wish I would have known about this the other day when I purchased $1100 of gift cards on eBay! I went thru Shop at Home instead to get their bonuses. Oh well!

For those with access to Giant Eagle, I just received an email that states today only (8/5), get $.25 fuel perks per $50 spent on ALL retailer gift cards. I don't know if this is targeted as I've not seen them do something last minute like this in the past, but I believe that it's not.

Today I was able to purchase a $50 Disney card and a $50 Southwest card from WalGreens using a $100 WalGreens card I got from SVM (ebucks). I'm in mid Illinois.

1% fred meyer rebate? are you talking about the quarterly $ back when using the fred meyer rewards card?

I think that is what they were talking about. I'm not sure of the answer, I was wondering myself. I almost think you might? We used to shop mostly at FM and I have never gotten a rebate that was more than 10 or so dollars. This one I got this week was 16$, and this earning period was the first time I've bought gcs through them. I bought 1000$ worth. I haven't sat down and done the math yet to know if I it was just coincidence or not. I use a budgeting program so I can pretty quickly see how much I spent... I'll look it up and post back.

I recently discovered that for some reason Barclay has been giving me double cash back on GC purchased from Raise. No idea why but Ill take it.
