  • Too bad the smallest gift card on Wine.com is $25. If they had allowed those in $10 increments, I'd be game. Otherwise I'd just continue growing my pile of Cheesecake Factory GC's.

    • I think as long as it's not at airports, stadiums it should work. Possibly the location at airports / stadiums are operated by food services company instead of Shake Shack.

  • This is very niche, but surprisingly useful for me.

    If you use a wine.com coupon, stack the periodic amex offers, stack rakuten (some of my datapoints indicate this no longer stacks when using a coupon), and then also now this credit, you can get some ridiculously discounted liquor. I refrain from buying wine on wine.com, but the hard liquor prices can be competitive and it is rare to get such meaningful discounts on liquor. In the past, I've done things like stack $30 off $100, a $10 amex offer, and 15x Raktuen/Amex pts, off of liquor that I would otherwise have been buying at full price. I've done this regularly enough to the point that I have at times paid $50 for their "1 year of free shipping" program.

    Milkbar is also around the corner from me, and it seems like I grab something every 2-3 months.

  • This works out well if you are a Stewardship member at wine.com. Free shipping on all orders, no minimum. A drinkable bottle of wine per month isn't too shabby. Assuming of course you have Stewardship ($59 a year).

  • what? removing ruth's chris as my $10 option?

    ...so much for my free napkin there

    • They're not THA . . . oh wait I haven't been there since the inflationdemic started.

  • $120 Dining Credit
    Effective August 2, 2022, Boxed and Ruth's Chris Steak House will no longer be participating partners for the $120 Dining Credit.

    From the Gold card's T&C. Guess I'll be able to enjoy at least a couple more months of Boxed. This is definitely a negative change, as I have tried to move away from using these at Grubhub in an effort to watch the ol' waistline.

  • I'm probably still going to struggle to use this every month, but the new options are definitely an improvement for me.

      • Yup. For some reason here Chipotle is cheaper on GrubHub than anywhere else, so I can usually get a chicken burrito bowl and a bag of chips for $10.25. Like clockwork every month.

      • I thought I was the only one LOL. Chipotle is an easy winner. Trying to avoid KFC lol.
