These aren’t the top gift card brands, but honestly IMO this isn’t bad. A lot of people can use up the Doordash or another restaurant gift card. Some people will appreciate a credit to Lululemon, Sephora, Ulta, Wayfair, Nordstrom, etc. And resellers should be able to extract $75-$85 value by reselling a gift card.

“These aren’t the top gift card brands, but honestly IMO this isn’t bad.”
I think you’re being too soft on Chase here. When Capital One Shopping removed many of the good redemption options a few weeks ago, you said “For a lot of people it could be worth just moving on from Capital One Shopping.”
This list of options is clearly worse (my thought when reading the list of gift cards was “what a fucking joke”), and these are gift cards that one would be paying for via the annual fee. (With Capital One Shopping, at least people had typically gotten their rewards thanks to some pretty crazy cash back offers.)
I guess I’m looking at it from opposite perspectives: the Chase $100 credit I’m trying to see if there’s value here, and so I’m thinking that it should still be worth $60-$80 to most people, albeit less than $85-$95 had they allowed better gift cards.
With Cap1 my baseline is comparing it to other portals that have a full 1:1 value to cash and so when I’m only getting 60-80% of 1:1 it’s a severe downgrade. But certainly can still make sense for some people or in some scenarios, as mentioned there in the post.
that list is shit, and who wants to be bother having to run the resale rodeo for less than a $100 return? who has time for this garbage?
I was hoping for Universal Studios if this wants to be taken seriously as a business card.
Lulu GCs can be liquidated for pretty close to face value in my experience.
I mean they’re already trapping you into the DoorDash eco system, so the DoorDash gc makes sense, except for the fact they you can pretty much get 10-15% off those gift cards perpetually, and at Costco it’s 20% in store…
Fuck chase and fuck Amex and fuck em all. Earn and burn.
I bet we’ll see this list expand at some point, but pretty disappointing. I was hoping at least for a Walmart/Target/Amazon
