The Offer
- Receive 0.4% cash back when you purchase Visa gift cards from Giftcardmall when you use the shopping portal Simply Best Coupons
The Fine Print
- This deal is for a limited time only (according to FM on or around the July 20th, 2015).
Our Verdict
This deal won’t make sense for most people, you can’t earn any category bonuses on Gift Card Mall and the maximum value of each gift card is $500. On a $500 gift card you pay a purchase fee of $3.95 plus shipping and you’d only net ~$2 in cash back. Because of this it really only makes sense for meeting minimum spend requirements and if you need access to Visa gift cards which can have a PIN set (otherwise you’d be better off with American Express gift cards that earn 1.5-2% in cash back).
Also remember that Simply Best Coupons offer whoever has referred you a 5% bonus on whatever you earn, if you used somebody you trusted referral link you could earn 0.42% between the two of you. If you feel like being generous, this is my referral link.
Hat tip to Frequent Miler
Do any sites still accept Amex GCs to buy VGCs? I know Giftcardmall doesn’t anymore, but I thought you wrote up some that did.
I don’t think there are any that do.
