[Expired] Maximizing The Chase Pay eBags Promotion (Spend $20, Get $20 In Points)

This deal has expired and is unfortunately no longer available. Never miss another deal again by signing up for free and instant notifications of new posts.

At the moment Chase Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire & Sapphire Preferred cardholders can get 2,000 Chase UR points when they spend $20+ at eBags.com. Let’s look at how to maximize this deal.

Stacking The Deal

• Gift card purchases work. You’re limited to using one gift card per order, but you can use a gift card and a credit card. This means if you have two cards that are eligible for this offer you should purchase a $20 gift card with the first card and on the second card you will be able to apply this gift card and then put the remaining balance on your second card. You can do this deal once per card, it’s not limited to one per account.
• They have a referral program that gives you $10 off your first order. This requires using a promo code and doesn’t work on gift card purchases, but should work on purchases that use a gift card. My referral link is here, you can share yours here.
• Use a shopping portal. Best rate is currently 18% cash back. Not sure if this will track correctly if you use a referral code but it’s worth a shot. You are better off using the $10 referral if you’re purchase is under $56, otherwise skip that and just use the portal.
• You can get free shipping on purchases over $49 and also via ShopRunner as well. Keep in mind not all items are shoprunner eligible.

If you have two cards it will look something like this:

• Purchase $20 gift card, get 2,000 in points back
• Use $10 referral code
• Purchase $50 item. $10 off via referral, $20 off via gift card further $20 goes onto second eligible card. Get 2,000 points back
• Hopefully portal tracks for another $7.2 cash back
• Get free shipping

Chase UR points are worth a minimum of 1¢ each so you’re at least breaking even and getting a free item and you might get another $7.2 cash back as well. If you only have one card then it’s basically the same but without the gift card step.
