Can these be paid for with office depot/max gift cards?
No
Which cards are NOT good to use to buy visa cards.
Meaning, cards that either won’t earn points or won’t count toward spending requirements.
Can you maybe add that info to the post?
An amex card will not work for the sign-up bonus and possibly the points as well
How do they know given that the purchase wouldn’t end in a flat 200.00 charge i.e. $398.90 could be for a printer etc.?
It’s a common misconception that the credit card issuer only sees amount. Level 2 data can also include itemized receipt. They know what you bought.
Not sure I agree with this. My experience (using an AMEX card to purchase fixed-value Visa Gift Cards from a retail outlet) has been that I have received points and that the amount spent has counted as a qualifying transaction to achieve a sign-up bonus. (Though I did not pay attention as to whether it was an AMEX Charge Card or an AMEX Credit Card.)
My rule-of-thumb if that if I earn points (or dollars), then the spend is a qualifying transaction.
Dan, can you please share the rules on this.
Dan, where do you see these ads because I looked through the weekly ad and did not see this?
which cards are dangerous to us e to buy Visa cards?
can someone please explain to me how this works. curious to know how visa or office depot make money by selling these at this discount?
Did anyone mention that they were making money on this deal?
then why have it? why sell a product at a loss? what is in it for visa or office depot? Dan?
To get you into the store.
then why don’t they advertise this in the weekly ad?
Doesn’t always make it in.
LOL what!? They do these to get you into the store, but can’t put it in the ad on time. Someone is dropping the ball lol
You can also send you yourself the money whith PayPal when you send it to a another account and then send it back. It takes about 3% and another 1% if you deposit through your debit card or need it instantly
why would you want to send it to your PayPal if you were already able to deposit it in another account? is there a way to load this directly to PayPal?
No O max in nyc
If I use my delta Amex will it be considered spending towards the 25k to get 10000 bonus miles and 10000 mqm’s?
Dan, most stores these days have limits. The link in the post is from 2015 and not all that practical today. Even if it were, there are no easy ways to cash out as BB and Serve also have limits these days. Unless there’s new methods out that we don’t know about yet…
Bought a variable card, paid 285+tax $290 total.
Didn’t Know it works on variable cards.
So @dan you can add the pricing and points for this one.
My store in Michigan officially has a limit (of 1) but it depends on how lazy or dumb the cashier is. Usually they let me do two transactions, tonight my cashier said she “thinks the limit is 6”. Uhuh, the sign right on top says one but I’m not gonna argue! Now if this store was within 75 miles of Brooklyn or Lakewood, they’d know the limit in their sleep.
store near maimi airport has no limit
