Our Verdict
None of these are profitable if you’re going by public resale rates (well Buffalo Wild Wings is 0.3% profitable if you use a card that earns 5% back at office supply stores. Actually even that isn’t profitable as reader couches points out) but for those with better bulk rates these might work out. Also some decent savings to be had if you shop/eat at any of these brands on a regular basis.
Will, you might want to check your math on the bw gc return. I think you still lose 70 cents.
Any idea if this works with Ebates I store cash Back?
Yeah I think you’re right as I was counting 5% cash back on $50 instead of $40.
