Hat tip to reader John D
Buy breakfast at a 400% mark up… save 4%. Ha!
These cards are regularly 10% or more off on raise so unless you stack with some other deals this wouldn’t make sense
The problem with buying specific retail gift cards in bulk is the opportunity cost as a function of time that the card goes unused.
I’d prefer to get an instant discount on purchases that I actually make, rather than spend unbudgeted money for a gift card that I may not use timely.
Prepaying for dozens of meals is also not very effective, psychologically, because then you may end up spending more money than you would have, if you were just purchasing one meal at a time, as normal. You might even feel like taking someone else out on your own dime, considering that the gift card is burning a hole in your pocket.
However, for someone that literally visits the same establishment, daily, this could potentially mitigate their bad habit.
PSA! USE YOUR SQUARE CASH CARD AND GET $1 OFF AND GET 4% BACK, I’ve used this twice and it worked both times. If you really want to push it, use the Hooked App (if you live in a college town) and get even more savings.
What “bank” did you select on Dosh to link your Square cash debit card?
I thought about this, tried it, and didn’t see the right option…
Planning to test if this is stackable with the BoA 10% they’re doing and report back (unless anyone already knows whether it is or not)
This should stack, they are different programs
I tried last week and it didn’t work – I got the 10% from BoA but nothing from Dosh. It wasn’t a standalone DD but rather inside a gas station so maybe that was a factor. Not sure why one would work and not the other though.
Is there some play here? Dunkin gift cards are routinely available at a significant discount.
