The Offer
Direct Link (this link should tell you if you are eligible)
eBay sent out another one of the targeted bonus Bucks offers. This is might be the last one before the month of April when we don’t typically see Bucks offers at all.
- Get 8% back in eBay Bucks on most eBay purchases
- Get 16% back in eBay Bucks on purchases made in the Fashion category; fashion categories include: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories, Jewelry & Watches, and Health & Beauty
What to Buy
If you have any fashion items (clothing, jewelry, health/beauty) items to buy, 16% Bucks is unbeatable. The other route is to buy gift cards to places you would shop anyway.
Lots of popular gift card deals are on sale now, including Lowe’s, Gamestop, Toys/Babies R Us, Kohl’s, gas gift cards, Overstock, Petco, Fandango, and more. Combining the Bucks offer and the discount itself can make for quite a deal.
Stack the Deal
- Buy discounted gift cards
- Get 8% back in Bucks if you were targeted
- Go through Splender for 2% back or Shopathome for their $5 promo or the shopping portal of your choice
- Either pay with eBay gift cards which are now unlimited
- Or pay with INK for 5x on PPDG purchases
Gift Card Reselling
The best deal for reselling is the Gamestop deal which can be sold to Saveya for 83%. Break even on the sale and net the Bucks, INK, portal.
The BP gas and Chevron gas at 8% can also be good (if you haven’t done those already). Lose 2-4% on the sale, but get the portal, Bucks, and credit card points.
The Toys/Babies R Us deals are also something to consider at 15% off. You may lose 5% on the sale, but it could be worth it if you stack it well with INK and Bucks and portal. Same for Overstock.
Our Verdict
It’s nice that they gave 3 days on this Bucks offer, and they gave a whopping 16% on the Fashion category too.
I’m maxed out already on Bucks for the quarter (there’s a max of $500 per quarter), but there are so many good deals to be had now with all the gift card sales and many people should be able to take advantage of this offer.
It looks like saveya gives only 81% for gamestop. Did this just change?
Hey can someone give me suggestions on what to do next? I sold some e-gift cards to saveya two months ago and I was suppose to get a $250ish check. However it has been two months and still haven’t gotten it. I tried contacting them through facebook like two weeks ago. I guess that was a bad idea. I’m going to contact them today by phone and see what happens today.
I think one issue may have been that I canceled my credit card that was on file on saveya 3 weeks ago. Although the address is still on file with saveya as I can currently see my address listed there. What should I do next if I don’t get my check?
Anyone ever have an issue of a partially used ebay GC later reporting no balance remaining when trying to finish it off? Annoying. Will contacting paypal enable recovery of the remaining balance?
In the future I’ll just pay by CC for the order portions that don’t fit my gift card denominations I guess.
Is anyone having issues not getting 5% rewards with the chase ink card? Mine are all at 1%. I had a few staples purchases and some on eBay from PPDG. I am very concerned.
perhaps you are looking at the first line: they give you 1% first, then 4% more on the next line down. Adds up to 5%. I’m getting 5% from my eBay purchases from PPDG.
Am I the only one that wasn’t targeted this time? If so, that’s not a good sign.
I was never targeted for these, how does this work, should i do smth special to get targeted?
ebay gift cards are my go-to option for sign up bonus spending nowadays…
Can’t get anything at all to go through with PPDG for last couple days, very frustrating. I just get error messages, never even get to the verification loop issue.
only issue is that paypal digital gifts has been a pain to buy from.
Looks like I will never be able to buy things from PPDG. I have been trying for the past week and nothing works. Sometimes I get lucky and it takes me to the confirm payment screen but it only wants me to use my checking account. I have called paypal countless of times now. So frustrating. I even got the targeted 8%. Is there anything I can do about this? I always get the transaction refused error no matter what.
The gift card deals are very bad this time.
You can’t resell game stop codes in $10 denominations, can you?
Lots of people had already bought BP and Chevron few days ago so those are out of the picture.
The resell price on CVS, Kohl’s and ToysRUs is very poor. So there’s not much to make there.
Keep in mind that not all GCs earn 5X ink since not all GCs are sold by PPDG.
I don’t see ANY gift cards worth getting in this round.
I can confirm that the game stop codes come as $60 instead of $50+$10.
Just triple dipped.
