Final Thoughts

Remember to use a shopping portal. Specifically, Southwest, United, Alaska, and AAdvantage are running shopping portal bonuses which you might want to use. And here are 33 things to know about eBay and Paypal.

The Sears deal is an easy flip for reselling.

  • Pay $264 for $300 in Sears gift cards
  • Get $21.12 back in Bucks if you were targeted for that offer
  • Get ~1% back from the portal – $2.64 (you might want to use a mileage portal instead, as noted)
  • Get 5x with INK, worth at least $13.20
  • Sell for 84% = $252
  • Profit: $24.96

And it’s all done online. Not bad. No other especially profitable flips here.

I don’t think Ebay Bucks redemptions count in the 2K/60

It would have been about $180 of the $2300 spending, so still think i’m just hitting the 2k this time.

And hit the 2K 60 day gift card limit i think? Any way to check if this is really the issue, i tallied my purchases over the last 60 days at about $2300 and i know most of it was through gift cards or eBay Bucks redemption’s.

Anyone ever done Amex simply cash on PPDG? It is supposed to give 5% back on office supplies too.

Sometimes it happens. Try resetting password. If that doesn’t help probably they closed your account. That what happened to my wife’s account. It was closed without any notice, email or reason.

How do you pay with INK? In the cart, it shows:

Unfortunately, you can’t use a credit or debit card to pay for this order. This option might be unavailable if:
We don’t accept credit or debit card purchases on this country’s site
A seller doesn’t accept credit or debit cards
You’ve applied a gift card, coupon, eBay Bucks, or donation

Will 5 X UR work if I add my ink to paypal and select ink?

you will have to log in to your paypal first, the direct credit card option won’t work. you still might get an issue (like i did), where it will only let you pay from your paypal balance and your bank account. if that happens try logging into your paypal account (outside of ebay), and reloading. that did it for me, loaded all my CCs (including ink) and i was able to complete the purchase

It was annoying the last time gift card #s didn’t generate … but last time I was lucky as paypal gave me a $50 courtesy credit. First ever courtesy credit I received from paypal.

Would be great if F’ing ppal didn’t send me running around in circles and then block my payment…

Yes I received the digital gift cards a few minutes after the purchase
it usually takes a bit before they show up

I almost always receive my gift cards within minutes as well, it’s been 2 hours now and I haven’t received the gift cards yet. I was the first or 2nd buyer of the gift cards…. ugh. When I don’t get them promptly, often there is a problem.

How do you know if you’re the first or second buyer? Just curious

ha 😀 because when I bought it nobody had bought it, and you see how ti shows the last 100 buyers? I was looking at the item when it was showing just 2 buyers, me and someone else.

Ugh I get into a verification loop with PayPal, then at the end when I try to confirm my pay, it rejects the payment from PayPal. Have I hit my limit with PayPal? I bought quite a bit of gift cards last week through PayPal.
