Our Verdict
You can buy a wide variety of products from Newegg, but what make this offer amazing is the fact that Newegg sells lots of gift cards as well. You can buy $100 Visa gift cards for $109 shipped (which isn’t really an amazing deal) or you can buy eBay, Kohl’s, Kmart, many travel gift cards and many other options.
I’d recommend doing this one fast as I’m not sure historically if Newegg offers last or if they fill up quickly. You’ll figure out what to buy afterward. The same offer was offered last year, you can read about that here. Here are 14 Things to Know about Amex Offer Deals.
I don’t know how it worked for you to put the free one way at the end.
for example, i can book:
JFK-VIE
SIN-HKG
VIE-JFK
for the same price as JFK-VIE RT, 220k in F
but when I try to book
JFK-VIE
VIE-JFK
SIN-HKG
the price goes up to 245k in F…
how did you do it?
wrong blog, sorry… 😉
Haha, no problem.
Hey Doc,
I have 4 Amex’s (no AU’s). I saw newegg and bb offers on 2 of the 4 (PRG and Everyday).
I then made the mistake of doing my first ever #offer tweets on twitter, on my twitter account that is linked to one of my 4 cards (simply cash) that did not originally have the offer.
After tweeting I got the offer on the Simply Cash, but I saw the offer had dissapeared from PRG and E’reday card.
Is there any way for me to get the offer on my other 3 or has my opportunity sailed into the abyss?

Doesn’t seem like any really great angles here. Best I could come up with is buy Kmart and convert to Amazon if thats your thing or VGC for a 7%+cc points profit.
Wait. You can buy other gift cards with a Kmart gift card at Kmart?
Oh yeah, been waiting for this. Got it 5 different cards, nice $100 off my new computer.
RIGHT AFTER Android Pay promo expired. DAMN YOU!
This would be good if purchase of giftcards on newegg would track on airline portals.
That used to work, for sure. Hopefully still does.
Any clue if UA/AA portals work? Would be nice to double/triple dip with the airline portal + airline portal Xmas bonuses.
Yeah, looks like portals are working (despite terms).
Use Newegg to meet all the holiday portal bonus threshold requirements.
Hadn’t even thought of that. Thx.
UA portal worked just fine. i bought $200 vanilla visa e-gift card for $210. not bad.
NewEgg has VISA vanilla egiftcards which saves you shipping fee.Got 2 $100 for $212.

Whats the unloading strategy for visa egift cards other than spending it organically ?
I did a purchase of two cards for $200 total, using a linked Amex. Cards have been e-delivered. But no “congrats” confirmation email.
Anyone else have this problem?
I got the congrats email within a couple minutes of order of e-gc. They do miss sometimes though, so if you are sure it’s saved I wouldn’t worry.
I ordered a Hyatt eGC and it took a little over two days for the credit to appear, but it did eventually on Nov 3rd. Without any intervention from me. No congrats email or notification from the app at all. Still it did work. I’ll probably do it again for my next stay.
Did you get/try the AmexOffer of $60 off a minimum $200 purchase at Hyatt by buying a $200 gift card?
When chose eBay gift card it says limit 2 per customer.
Does it mean 2 eBay gift cards each transaction or 2 gift cards limit per day or life time?
Newegg per-customer-limits are based on rolling 48-hour period.
Harry and David offer, spend $75 get $20 back online. Also valid at some brands they own (ie Wolfermans). One time use, valid until 12/31/16.
