Not recommended to buy $7500 in gift cards with no game plan to drain. Best of luck to you.

Anyone have an iphone and know how to MS this?

I have 5 Freedoms so it’s worth some effort to me, but very low income so very little “store” expenses.

Walmart.com & Samsclub online cost $6.88 per $200 gc. This is cost prohibitive. Bjs & BB don’t sell visa or mc gift cards online.

Reports are buying gcs at Walmart using Walmart pay isn’t working.

It’s looking like I’d have to buy a Samsung phone in order to do this deal…. at Walgreens or maybe Walmart….??

I linked Chase Pay to WM Pay and tried to buy 3 VGC’s at WM using WM pay and system did not allow me to buy the 3 VGCs of $500 each

It still said I need to use cash or debit card to buy them

Is this correct? Or any idea what I did wrong?

Paying using Samsung Pay (via Chase Pay) is reporting as 1% instead of 5% for me.

Update: I removed the card from Samsung Pay, and re-added through Chase Pay and now it is reporting 5%.

So I used Chase Pay at my local Shoprite supermarket (they actually take Chase Pay) earlier this month and noticed that I got 10x points!

Oh wait, I see there is a post about this: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-pay-earn-10-back-or-1000-points-at-shoprite-1500-points-for-making-5-purchases-elsewhere/

I added Chase Pay to WM pay and tried to buy VGC in store and it did not go through via Walmart Pay

Anyone has had success doing this? Please reply and let us know if successful

if your transaction has any VGC, a small paper will print to alert cashier to ask for a separate payment for the VGC if you’re using WMPay.

So basically i cannot buy the VGC at WM using WMpay (to which i have added Chase Pay as payment mode), RIGHT???????????

How else to do spending for this quarter for 5% CB for freedom at WM then?

Do you have a newer Samsung phone? Use Samsung Pay (launched from within the Chase Pay app) to get 5% CB pretty much everywhere, including Walmart.

If you’re on iOS it doesn’t work. I had the same problem when they launched the ability to add it. No fix as far as I know.

Just got the chase freedom, does anyone know if Costco Gas will count as wholesale?

Nope. It’s in the exclusion list. Costco Gas now codes as Gas Station and hence it earns 5% during the Gas Station 5% cash back period.
