Plastic Jungle-- do they EVER have physical cards?

[Zhoen]

Anybody used Plastic Jungle lately and been able to get an ACTUAL card?

I would *LOVE* to get discounted cards to pay the balance on my kitchen remodel (home depot), but although I get "alerts" several times a day that "new cards are available," it's never cards, it's always ECodes. I'm not sure those would work for a balance payment in-store.

Anyone seen real cards on this site lately?

I always get physical gift cards. But I go for restaurant gift cards.

Can you use the e-code to buy a physical card? I use one of the reward sites, and I occasionally redeem my points for a Lowe's gift card. I could print them off and take them in to get a hard copy, but I'm lazy so when I want to cash it in for a hard copy gift card, I order it online and it's mailed to my house.

I haven't seen a physical card for Home Depot or Lowe's in I don't know how long Bums me out too cause lumber and gardening supplies just aren't things we really buy online. I know that Plastic Jungle says the e-codes "might" be accepted in store but I'm not comfortable with that.

I do, however, still find physical cards for HD and Lowe's on giftcardrescue.com. But a warning if you've never used them, shipping is S-L-O-W.

I've quit even clicking on the email alerts of plastic jungle if the card is Home Depot or Lowes.

Hmm... I may try this with a low-value code and see if it works, thanks!

I just wanted to circle back and let y'all know that I WAS able to use the Home Depot E-Codes in-store... the cashier just had to type in the number(s) and pin(s). I tried it with a $25 one first just to see if it would work, on a purchase, and then, since it did, I bought enough to pay my entire remodeling balance $6k+ (that time was at customer service, so no, not holding up a line...) We saved $462 doing this, and by paying with Discover through Paypal (the site only accept Visa and MC) we got another $62 in Discover kickbacks...

So, YMMV, I would suggest anyone wanting to try this try a small-value first to be sure it works for you, but it worked for me, and between the 7% discount and the Discover kickbacks, I saved over $500 off what it would have been if I'd just paid cash... wacky but true...

Yay for the smart Dis-folks!!! Thanks for clueing me in on this!
