Our Verdict

Lots of these deals are a bit ‘meh’ without the Bucks, but with an extra 6% they’re more enticing.

From a reselling angle, since we can no longer purchase third party gift cards with eBay gift cards, the math is always much more difficult. Some of the gas deals could start making sense with the added 6%, especially if you go through a portal for another 1% – 1.5%, but again, nothing amazing.

Also there’s currently a 1,000 mile United shopping bonus with $350 in spend. United is currently offering .5 miles per dollar on eBay, or 1 mile per dollar if you have their credit card. And remember to use INK for the PPDG cards.
