The Offer
Direct Link to offer | Press Release
Paze launched a new promo today for online checkout:
- Spend $10, get $10 back when you use Paze checkout. Valid up to 10 times for a total $100 cashback.
- Offer valid 6/15/26 through 9/10/2026.
- The $10 credit will show as a credit to your card within 2 billing cycles.
Paze is a digital wallet offered by many financial institutions, including Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, PNC, Truist, US Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi, and many other banks and credit unions. It comes from the same company behind Zelle.

Our Verdict
Paze is the big bank’s effort to compete with the major online wallets for online checkout like Paypal and Apple Pay and Shopify in a direct-to-consumer way, similar to how the big banks successfully challenged other platforms for transferring money with their Zelle platform. Hopefully the competition will open up even more promotions to us as consumer as the wallets compete for dominance.
Most of us have multiple cards with Chase, BofA, etc. You can get $10 x 10 per card. It’s a pain, but could be worth it to score hundreds of dollars of discounts or free stuff. Each credit or debit card you have with each of these banks (Chase, BofA, WF, etc) can get ten $10 credits. Seems like only personal credit/debit cards are working on Paze, but let us know what’s working for you with the various banks – the offer should be good on any card that works at checkout.
You don’t need to activate this offer – just make sure to check out with the Paze wallet and you’ll get up to $100 back on each card you use.
Make sure the total on the final screen is $10 (no discounts or whatnot) since you need $10 minimum to be eligible. Dansdeals confirmed with Paze directly that gift card purchases from Newegg and similar merchants would qualify for the $10 credit.
Some ideas and tips:
- The easiest for a lot of people is just to buy ten $10 Dunkin e-gift cards and then merge all the balances onto your main card. Some people are seeing Paze as an option when reloading their Dunkin account (after update) while others need to buy a fresh $10 Dunkin gift card to see the Paze checkout option. Use the Dunkin app in order to see Paze checkout.
- You can buy $5/$10/$15 Starbucks e-gift cards on Newegg and checkout with Paze to get $10 back. (The $10 denomination is currently sold out.)
- DoorDash $15 on Newegg
- $10 Newegg gift card
- Can also buy many other $10 gift cards from Newegg for places like Home Depot, Uber, CVS, Chipotle, Burger King, Disney, Dunkin, Regal, etc. You can order five of each brand or possibly five every 24 hours.
- $10 Fanatics gift card from Fanatics
- Remember that Chase is offering 10x bonus points for using Paze checkout. It’s possible to get a free $100 and also earn 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points as well (plus regular points earning).
- We’ve noted the potential, unconfirmed stack to pay with a Chase Freedom card after July 1st and get 5x on Stubhub for the quarterly category, along with 10x from checking out with Paze. This $10 promo will be a third stack, if this works.
- Today only (6/15), you should be able to stack this promo with the PayRange (Laundromat/Vending App) deal to load $10 and get an extra $10 (3x).
Check the full list of retailers who currently allow Paze at checkout here. Some notable ones:
- Newegg (sells many gift cards – see this comment)
- United Airlines
- Shoprite online
(possibly sell gift cards?).They make you pay at register when you go to pick them up - Dunkin
- Domino’s
- Sephora
- StubHub – Works beautifully to stack with the Chase Sapphire Reserve Stubhub credit. Can stack with a shopping portal as well.

F.A.Q’s
Am I limited to earning $100 back?
You can do the deal 10 times per card, so you’re limited by how many eligible cards you have. It’s limited per card, not by bank or financial institution.
I’m getting an error when I try to log in, what should I do?
If you’re getting the following error: “When trying to log in: We’re having trouble signing you in.Please try again later.” then try using a different browser. If that doesn’t work then I’d recommend trying to use a different internet connection to see if it resolves the issue.
Will Newegg block my account if I buy too many gift cards?
Normally if you try to purchase too many gift cards from Newegg they stop processing them. There doesn’t seem to be any hard/fast rules and Newegg is getting slammed currently so processing is taking longer than normal.
- You are limited to 5 per brand though per 24 hour period (this is not new). The 5 limit is also per denomination so you could theoretically do $10 and $15 gift cards but return isn’t as good.
- There is no velocity limit for purchasing NewEgg branded gift cards, just keep in mind they cannot be used to purchase third party gift cards. Report of Faze blocking account.
Will Paze actually pay out, this seems too good to be true?
The 10 x $10 question. The terms do state ‘If Paze, a participating financial institution, or participating merchant determines, in their sole discretion, that you have engaged in or attempted fraud, abuse, misuse, or gaming related to this Offer, you may be deemed ineligible for the Offer, and your participating financial institution may reverse or remove previously issued statement credits or temporarily prohibit you from earning statement credits‘ so there is some wiggle room for them to try and get out of this. I think what is more likely is that the terms get changed ASAP.
Are gift cards eligible?
Yes, there is nothing that excludes gift cards in the terms and Dans Deals has spoken with a spokesperson from Paze and they stated gift cards are eligible.
Is my card eligible?
Once you’ve added your card it should be eligible if the green banner shows up at checkout.
Some datapoints:
- Debit cards:
- Works: PNC, Truist, U.S. Bank, Chase (personal)
- Doesn’t work: Chase (business), Citi, Capital One
- Business cards:
- Doesn’t work: Chase
Paze suspended my account, why?
We aren’t sure why Paze is suspending some accounts, if you could share in the comments below if your account is suspended and details (when Paze account was added, how many cards added, how many offers redeemed etc) we can start collecting datapoints to try and determine why. Current datapoints: 1, 2, 3 (10+ newegg branded gift cards)
When will the $10 be rewarded?
Terms say up to two billing cycles.
Does this stack with Chase 10x deal?
I think it should stack with this deal, but don’t 100% know for sure.
I can’t add X card?
Some discussion here, might vary by bank. Seems easiest way is to add card via digital wallets in the banks app.



I don’t see the Paze payment option on Dunkin or stubhub. Anyone had luck on those? I was gonna do a $10 Dunkin GC (don’t see if on reload either). I got it on Newegg ..

How long does the newegg gift card purchase limit last before you can buy more?
I was able to buy 10 uber gift cards, but only 5 doordash, so it varies I think.
If anyones in a similar situation this may help-
I have a few accounts that’re eligible but I don’t have much in them.
Totally forgot I can just set them up with Zelle and itll be way faster than ach. Probably obvious to most, but it just didn’t occur to me at first
If you use Paze too rapidly your wallet will be temporarily suspended. I got locked out for 24 hours after eleven purchases
After 40+ transactions I got my account suspended with entering one otp wrong
I’m trying to add my bofa CCR from https://secure.bankofamerica.com/customer-digital-wallets/digitalwallets but getting “Your request can’t be completed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Try again in a few minutes.”
Anyone find a fix?
Same for my Citi Costco
In for 5x across five cards with Newegg, to start. Also hit three other cards with the PayRange promo, why not.
Xsolla is a back-end provider for in-game currency for mobile games like PUBG, for those curious. Could be convenient. IMO, Newegg cards, maybe Roku subscriptions & purchases (within the next three months, I guess?), Domino’s/Dunkin/Wendy’s/Whataburger for pickup, are the real ways to maximize, because everything else seems marginally less useful.
There is no doubt after all this we will all be very comfortable using Paze after this. Mission accomplished.
Good way to get people to add all their cards to Paze and get used to using it during checkout. Far faster and more effective than just having the option show up without any incentive, since I doubt people would normally go out of their way to add their cards to it when they already have stuff like Paypal and Google/Apple wallets setup.
I purchased 10 cards over the course of the afternoon and evening (four different card brands). The fulfilled orders are starting to arrive in my inbox.
Sorry, forgot to mention these were all from Newegg.
Newegg DP: approx. 3 hrs after putting in orders, I’m starting to receive the order confirmation emails and GC codes (a few Home Depot and Newegg GCs so far).
Edit to add: Now that the orders are actually going thru, fraud detection on my BofA card is declining my Paze transactions. Verified via replying to the automated text and will try resubmitting those orders.
Same happened here. I would be sure to cancel the declined orders so they don’t go through later or affect your Newegg GC limits. Also when I canceled the declined orders some orders on the same card started going through, may have been a coincidence or maybe they paused processing my orders made by that card temporarily.
Is “the statement credit” capped at $10 per statement? In other words, they give you up to $10 per statement? Or can I make ten, $10 purchases on the same card and they will give me ten, $10 credits on a single statement?
I never read the statement is capped at $10, just the card is capped at $100 statement credits.
Bought single $10 uber gift card around 2:30 pm est. order is still preparing and not delivered yet. Have bought gift cards from Newegg but >6 months ago. Maybe I’m just unlucky or too infrequent user or Newegg
Or it could be everyone is slamming Newegg and causing a massive slowdown in gift card delivery. Each 3rd party varies too on arrival. IE Nintendo GC’s are delivered abt 15 to 20 min later. Chipotle GC’s I bought at 8 AM CT just got delivered at 7 PM CT.
Paze suspended my account for 24 hours after 5 x $10 Newegg orders with 3 different credit cards.
Newegg is telling me that they’re unable to connect to paze
Not having this problem. I’m on desktop and using a passkey to log into Paze.
Same here. Clean browser and Paze worked fine for me with Dunkin before and after
Wanted to point out apparently Capital one debit *does* work for some, through the desktop. Not for me though sadly…
I think the offer said something like Discover cards might not work so that could be it
Nah the person that replied to me and said it worked said they were using a capital one debit on discover network
Correct, I was able to add it on a desktop (though is still don’t see it on paze when I check on the cap1 app) and it shows the promotion banner so it should work .
Citi cards not showing up on Paze for some reason.
Does for me.
Does for me.
Hit my limit on uber gc at newegg think i got 10 of em!
Same. But none have been delivered yet. You?
This may be a dumb question but can I just buy a bunch of Newegg $10 gift cards for now and then buy 3rd party gift cards later through Newegg with those gift cards?
No, it says in the posting. You can’t buy third party gift cards with Newegg gift cards 🙁
This usually doesnt work with most companies/websites that sell gift cards (i.e. amazon), youd have to read the newegg terms and conditions to confirm.
Paze doesn’t work well. All info is correct in US Bank (and cards are listed as eligible) but they don’t show up when I login to Paze (using the exame same info).
We are testing this, and they might not pay us for that.
US Bank cards you need to add in the app.
Thanks. Weird because P2 had all cards automatically added.
How do you check, when I log in to Paze i just see my cards, no history.
try this
US Bank Instructions: (mobile app) navigate to specific credit card page > click manage card > click the card > add to digital wallets > choose Paze
Thanks. Weird because P2 had all cards automatically added.
how does Paze pays the $10 back ?
Statement credit in 2 billing cycles.
Here’s how to activate Chase: https://www.chase.com/digital/customer-service/helpful-tips/online-banking/mobile/paze
Chase might only work if it’s the first bank you added to Paze. I added US Bank first, and then the Chase app gave me an error “We weren’t able to link your Chase Freedom card to Paze”. To fix it, on the Paze site I selected “Opt out”, which unlinks all cards from Paze. Then the Chase app worked to add cards to Paze. (And then I added cards from US Bank, BofA, etc).
Also, people had problems on Chase with Google Voice numbers.
I was able to add chase after US Bank.
Maybe in my case the problem was that I use a different email address for each bank. Chase might be more picky about the email address in an existing Paze account matching the email address of the Chase account.
(Paze doesn’t seem to have a way to change email addresses; it comes from the bank. I didn’t try changing my email address on US Bank.)
Maybe try to activate paze but put in the chase email. Maybe it makes two Paze wallets for you?
I had 7 cards already in my wallet when I “activated” but unable to add anymore.
Unable to add my Chase Total Checking (Debit card) to Paze.
When trying to add the card in Chase App, I’m getting a message:
“We weren’t able to link your CHCK (….XXXX) card to Paze.
Please try again.”
Was able to add my Chase Freedom card and grab $100 worth of Chipotle/Starbucks.
Thanks doc!
Chase is the first bank I added to Paze, tried unlinking (removing all cards) and still couldn’t add the debit card. Using a non-VOIP number.
Excited for another way to squeeze more value out of the 6 big bank cards I opened in the last year + one I already had lol
Some IT folks will have a very bad day tomorrow…
haha so true. They are probably been on it since 8am today trying to keep newegg from crashing.
Will try this later and post my data points. I have to plan out how I’m spending this. But I have 17 cards to try. 4 credit cards and 13 bank debt cards. Thinking of just getting $10 new egg gift cards and using all $1,700 to buy one single stick of RAM.

Newegg is advertising it themselves…Take a look at the FAQ:
https://www.newegg.com/paze
Newegg doesn’t work for me at all. Tried 3 different browsers, after verifying the card with the pop Paze and clicking pay, it just returns me back to the same screen. Clicking “check out with paze” returns me to the flow.
Had the same issue, this is what fixed it for me:
Worked! You’re a lifesaver!
i have no idea how to add a card to paze its not showing im trying to add my other citi cards its only showing 2 of my citi cards i have 3
Bought 5 uber giftcard on newegg and didn’t receive any order confirmation. Am I alone?
Takes a few hours. Took me about 2 hours to get the Newegg order email confirmation, then a second email with the actual gift card showed up about 30 mins after that
They’re probably getting hammered with orders so you’ll have to wait it out — you should be able to see the orders in your Order History page
What the heck, my (personal) Chase cards are not showing up.
You can manually activate and add them on your mobile app.
The list of cards that show up in Paze includes only Citi. When I add one of those I get to see my wallet where there is a link to add a card. Then I get a screen that allows me to choose Chase, but when I click that and login to my Chase account nothing happens.
Ok, I was able to do it through the Chase app
DP
10 $10 Uber GCs ordered and confirmed 10 hours ago have began delivering. Very. Slowly.
Created Newegg account this morning.
Have you received all?
Just bought 50 $10 newegg giftcards in about 45 minutes. Thanks for the new Nintendo Switch 2, big banks
Make it a zelda 40th edition… 🫡
If Chase Honors this promo lol.
Promo is from Paze
It only found 3 cards for me amongst all the banks. When I click on the +add card, and select the bank it takes me to the login screen of the bank. Is this what people are seeing?
You have go to the app/login of your bank and manually activate and add the cards to paze.
Yes. But do you have to go through Paze? i.e, login to the bank after redirect from Paze?
No, redirect does not matter. Need to go to page in each site that adds card to Paze wallet. Will be different for each issuer.
nope. Log into your bank’s app directly and activate there. Later when you log into paze you will see those cards which you added in the respective bank apps.
Newegg gift cards seem to be taking awhile to process. Did 10 on US Bank and 1 on CapOne then switched and did 9 dunkin through the app that processed instantly.
Will wait to see if newegg goes through and if not, ill just do dominos/dunkin on my BoA cards.
Highly skeptical of these types of too good to be true deals, it’s just too easy to get rug pulled by these scumbag companies on stuff like this. I bought $100 worth of GC. Will wait to see if it pays out and what happens from here before sending it on more. There’s no way this doesn’t get nerfed
The transaction was not able to be completed with Paze. 😀
What was the error? I just completed a few orders a few mins ago.
Paze saw what happened with Pepper and was like “hold my beer”
And I had to hold an amount when they folded.
Doesn’t the bolded stuff mean merchant category of financial services (specifically prepaid cards) is exclude? They also say they can change the merchant category anytime. I understand newegg is not a financial services company at the moment, but could the bank change it…
Offer expires on 09/10/2026
Details$10 issued as a statement credit.
Terms and ConditionsWhen you select Paze® to check out with participating online merchants between June 15, 2026 and September 10, 2026 (the “Offer Period”) and spend $10 or more in a single transaction that is approved (a “Qualifying Purchase”), as determined by the authorization date or the clearing date, depending on the payment network, Paze, on behalf of your participating financial institution, or the participating financial institution will apply a $10 statement credit to the eligible credit or debit card account you select from your Paze wallet to complete the transaction (the “Offer”).
When you check out using Paze at an eligible merchant, the Offer details will appear in your Paze wallet when you select your eligible credit or debit card. If the Offer details do not appear during Paze checkout, the transaction will not be eligible for the Offer. Eligibility for the Offer is determined based on how the merchant is classified by the applicable payment network. Transactions at merchants classified by the applicable payment network in certain categories may not be eligible for the Offer, including merchants categorized as gambling or betting services (e.g., casinos, lotteries, sportsbooks, and online gambling sites), drug stores and pharmacies (including pet pharmacies), financial services (e.g., cash disbursements, cryptocurrency, foreign currency, prepaid cards, leases, loans, money transfer, securities), adult/dating content/services, guns and ammunition, courts/government fines, political fundraising, medical services and healthcare providers (not including Quest Diagnostics), spa and massage services, specialty stores (e.g., beauty supplies—not including Sephora, collectibles, fireworks, frames, monuments, magic, maps, sunglasses, trophies), tele/direct marketing (e.g., classified ads, subscriptions, travel-related services—not including consumer initiated airline sales), and wholesale durable goods. Merchant categories can change at any time without notice, which may lead to additional exclusions from the Offer. Please review your agreement governing your underlying credit or debit card with your participating financial institution to determine whether additional merchant restrictions apply.
I think merchant categories (MCC) is merchant wide, and doesn’t change based on the contents of an order, which you weren’t implying, just wanted to make that clear. What I think the excerpts you are pointing out are trying to warn us about is if Newegg suddenly had a different MCC, then it may no longer show the “$10 for $10” offer anymore, and that we should not just assume that since it used to that it always will be eligible. MCCs can change kind of randomly, which I have heard, but as of now Newegg is probably not coding its MCC as “financial services”.
However, if the categories add “giftcards”, then maybe newegg’s MCC would be included in the excluded list and would no longer be eligible, and this would be evident because during checkout you would not see the $10 off $10 offer displayed, which is the most important part of the terms so much that they bolded it. The bank may also change how they classify Newegg, but I would think that would affect future purchases. When a credit card purchase is made, the MCC is recorded then I believe, it would be messy if they could change later, since the purchase was authorized with a certain MCC.
“When you check out using Paze at an eligible merchant, the Offer details will appear in your Paze wallet when you select your eligible credit or debit card. If the Offer details do not appear during Paze checkout, the transaction will not be eligible for the Offer.”
Just to add, even though you did not bring this up, nothing in the terms talks about what items the customer buys affecting eligibility, but rather only what items a merchant sells and is categorized as (MCC) determines their eligibility in the offer. They do say the merchant’s eligibility can change, but that (I assume) is a change for future orders, as in the offer would not be visible during checkout for those orders.
Since you mention “prepaid”, which is only relevant to determining if a merchant is eligible by their MCC, which Newegg is proven to be because the offer is present, prepaid is generally referring to prepaid credit cards that can be used anywhere. I think it would be pretty low if they just didn’t want to say giftcards, but secretly they also meant giftcards when so many cashback programs explicitly exclude giftcards by just saying it. Also it is not a coincidence that Newegg does not sell any prepaid credit cards, further affirming their eligibility in the offer.
The real concern is that if an order is pending, what happens if they process the order AFTER Newegg is changed to an ineligible mechant. Then we may be screwed, but I think that would be incredibly shady since we already authorized payment. But it could be an unintentional side effect of them trying to fix this.
I’m sure they mean cash-equivalent cards (like Visa, MC, etc.) Highly doubtful they care if folks buy merchant gift cards. Probably only a matter of time before somebody finds a way to buy those, though, and this whole party gets shut down.
There are not many merchants that take Paze, so its not hard for them to predict how this all would go, and Newegg was the closest one that would possibly sell prepaid cards. It’s good for us because it means we are forced to stay in compliance and not accidentally disqualify ourselves.
Has anyone been able to add Wells fargo credit or debit card to Paze?
How can we add?
More -> Card Settings -> Digital Wallet -> Paze
You will have better luck using the wellsfargo app to add your card to paze.
Assuming I don’t encounter issues, no cap I will stay up all night doing this, I have 36 open credit cards. 2 hours in, not slowing down. I can do about 1 transaction every minute. $600/hour. Not afraid to use sick time or PTO tomorrow
1 tx/min? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up. Set up autofill for all fields on Newegg and use a passkey on Paze to skip the text message.
Just switched from WiFi to ethernet, actually helping alot with qty
LOL.. If the offer is live until 9/10 then why take so much pain.. FOMO if they pull it out sooner due to DoC effect 😀
This amount is nothing, even if we all have 50 cards. As long as nobody finds a cash-equivalent exploit, there’s no reason this won’t last.
$5k each is nothing? You think this is normal? I think it will last but not from your logic. People could easily just resell these giftcards which is like what 60% to cash or something.
Forget about reselling. It’s basically getting all those gift cards for free if the banks eventually pay or agree to pay 😀
Yea I am not reselling, not wroth the hassle and loss in value, I am just responding to him saying there needs to be some cash-equivalent exploit to make it something they would shut down. Having a free $300 gift card to lowes is pretty sick and is as good as money to most people.
Well, judging from historical events like this, of which I’ve been a part of for 30+ years now, I can say quite assuredly that the banks don’t care UNTIL things hit the Visa/MC prepaids.
And yes, $5k is absolutely nothing to a cross-bank promotion. Even if everyone reading DoC had 50 cards (they don’t) and maxed out all transactions (they won’t), it will barely register as a blip to whatever the banks have budgeted for this promotion. We’re nothing (to the big picture).
Thank you sybloc elder. I will buy more GCs in confidence. I honestly would feel more foolish leaving money on the table if they are just handing it out so blatantly. Time for caution is when the terms are blurry and its some small local bank. This is JPMorgan, BofA, Wells Fargo, US Bank (and more) jointly here. Yea they don’t care about the amounts of money we are getting.
I wonder if there is some common thread/owner between all of the giftcards available on newegg. So really all of this money from the banks is possibly going to a few conglomerate corporations, and what if the the banks owe money to them or even more dastardly, flat out own those conglomerates. The banks are just giving themselves the money. It just temporarily is in giftcard form for a period of time. This is why they can’t allow prepaid cards, because then their money could leave them. Damn… what a system.
“The banks are just giving themselves the money. It just temporarily is in giftcard form for a period of time. This is why they can’t allow prepaid cards, because then their money could leave them.”
Nailed it.👍
Hopefully, nobody will figure out a way…but somehow, they always do.
Okay so quick research shows the top public shareholders in almost all of these GC companies are the same that hold 20% collected ownership of each of the banks listed with Paze: BlackRock + Vanguard + State Street
Stuff we already knew.
And Newegg is 54% owned by China, but they are just the middle man.
Yea I think FOMO is real. It’s not even the DoC effect, its the internet. Many communities have been doing this raid all day. I would not be surprised at all if they put a cap or if they don’t allow Newegg at some point. But you have believe Newegg has reached out to Paze (if they didn’t actually talk beforehand) and asked “are you cool with me running all of these giftcard orders?” I don’t think newegg would want to get caught in the middle of all of this if they told newegg they weren’t going to honor the deal for these giftcard orders but yea process them anyways *villain laugh*.
What are those other communities? Wouldn’t mind having more knowledge.
I just googled them, https://www.google.com/search?q=paze+%2410
I’m laughing but somehow I believe you are very very serious
Whats the fallback though if Paze does not honor this “loophole”?
a life of crime to pay the credit cards off before they break your legs.
36, are they all eligible?!! Just in case you weren’t aware, it takes 2 billing cycles to get the credit… if we get the credit.
I can clearly see every single card I have on paze has this offer including citi. Why you say citi does not work
That’s saying debit cards from Citi don’t work; are yours debit or credit?
Yeah my costco citibank shows eliglbe
Paze locked on my 8th Dunkin card. I was doing phone # everytime (as opposed to setting up passkey). At the same time P2 did use passkey and was able to complete 10 reloads. Not sure if helpful DP
I was able to do 50ish orders without setting up a passkey (I hate passkeys)
I have a feeling this offer will be nerfed or killed early with how much people are pushing it. That said, I’ve got 14 eligible cards… very tempted to max it out, but I’ll try to show some restraint
Anyone know if you can double dip for authorized users of the same credit card account?
We won’t know this right now. The offer started today and might take until Sep 10 or even later to post
Are you done already with all the cards that you have with P1 and P2 😀
Doubtful if its the same statement.
How does the $10 reimbursement work here? It reimburses to your cc or it just charges you $10 less than whatever you paid? No receipt or anything from newegg after 30min but seems like Lowes has a purchase limit after this now that I try to buy another one
Shows ‘Statement Credit’ on Paze website.
hm ok wonder how long it takes to post guess we’ll find out in a bit
where do you see this?
https://imgur.com/a/XG1ItzM
thanks. I misunderstood, I thought it showed you already if your transactions were eligible after checking out via the paze website or something
It’s a statement credit. Meaning you’ll probably see a -$10 on your account a week or two from now.
I read earlier up to two statements so could be a couple months down the line…I’m gonna do this at my own pace I don’t want to be stuck with a ton of gift cards and not get reimbursed down the line.
Got in 2 pending NewEgg orders without confirmation before going to 4 Dunkin cards and then Paze stopped working with Dunkin so put in 4 more NewEgg orders
Domino’s has any pizza for $9.99 through 7/26…does this mean you could get a free pizza for just sales tax, 10 times for every Paze-compatible credit card you have?
Yes, but think bigger.
Yes, bigger waistline.
Yes.
No Paze on Domino’s checkout, so you still need a gift card.
I see it on the Domino’s website at checkout.
Can’t add new cards with Chase or US Bank. Chase just redirects me to chase.com without a callback link and US Bank says failed after verification and login
Newegg disabled the checkout for me after 53 orders.
Switch to P2 newegg lmao
Are they still pending? Confirmed? Did you received any GC so far?
Thanks for your DP. Now we know the limit for Newegg lol
Whoops – was able to purchase 10/$10 Uber GCs on newegg. Will 5 of the orders be cancelled?
At wendys, there’s no option to pay with paze (website, or by adding payment, or checkout). Same for the app.
I see Paze at the absolute last checkout step in the app
Shows in the app when ordering food, not when reloading mobile wallet.
hey, thanks. I though it wasn’t valid because I try to buy it on the website (desktop). I didn’t go through app yet.
Thanks. Too bad I can’t buy gift card/balance.
I see Paze in the Wendy’s app, but only on the checkout page when ordering food, not for adding funds to the digital account balance.
Imagine if this deal really meant $100 total across all cards. At least I have gift cards I will use anyway.
Might end up a shitshow. Ordered 3xuber, 1xlyft, 2xcvs across several cards. Only 2xuber shipped so far, the first cvs gc order completely disappeared from my order history. Really do not like that I do not see a history Paze charges on the Paze webpage (or that there seems to be no Paze app).
Newegg only shows the most 5 recent. Change your order history to past 30 days and you’ll see each page shows 5 orders.
Yea I was worried a bit when I noticed that. Weird website glitch.
2 Newegg GCs still processing after 3hrs. 8 Dunkin GCs delivered. Paze shows as a payment option for new Dunkin card purchases, not for reloads.
As tempting as it is to max 7 cards I’m not biting off more than I can chew here.
Fanatics possibly disabled Paze. Payment option for Paze is still there but I get the rejection email as soon as the order is processed. Only my first order of $10 gift card went through.
Bought ten $10 gift cards on newegg (10 separate transactions), checked out via Paze. During checkout the $10 off $10 Paze offer was visibly showing. All ten purchases went through on the Newegg side, all are showing in my newegg recent orders. Not seeing any charges to my Citi credit card yet, nor have I received the gift cards via email, been about an hour. Not panicking yet… but if anyone has DPs that their CC transactions went through and/or theirgift cards were received via email, would love to see them!
Every transactions is still pending. I purchase 25 transactions worth of gift cards. received 6 ( 4 nintendo 2 chipotle)
it took several hours for me the order confirmation to come through and then charge appeared on the CC
Update: finally got some newegg email confirmations after about 2 hours
it might take many hours or days for them to arrive.
One of the first real negatives of having primarily business cards. Seems it’s for personal cards only.
Just to confirm, you can’t actually check out on Starbucks with Paze, right?
You would have to buy a (sold-out) gift card on Newegg?
4 GC in newegg 4 pending, 2 of those 10 hours ago
In order to protect me from myself, I got banned from Paze for 24 hours while buying a 10$ gift card from Newegg!!!
They literally own your EWS report. They knew what you were capable of and had to cut you off before you could do serious damage.
I suppose so. It looks like IP plays a factor too. P2’s account was also banned within minutes.
Yea, I wonder what is causing that. How can some people place 50 orders with 5 cards with no issues, but people get flagged after 1.
I got flagged because I entered an older CVV code when it asked for verification. Banned my Paze account for 24hrs it says.
Was already $200 deep on buying gift cards though, everything went through.
Use a VPN!
I feel like a VPN is more likely to get you banned. I made sure not to use a VPN. Maybe use mobile data instead of your home internet. Nothing more suspicious than using a VPN while buying credit cards as fast as possible haha.
Yup, I made it through 15 orders on Newegg before Paze temporarily suspended my wallet for my own protection too. Hopefully those orders go through though!
I suddenly had 8 orders processed and I got the gift cards immediately too. Then orders were getting decline by my credit card, so each card may have its own fraud limit. I have seen 2 and now 7 trigger fraud to decline.
At least they dont spend millions on crappy ads.
Better they pay us.
I am not getting any order confirmations from newegg is that normal ?
Don’t think so. I placed my first order to try this deal more than 30 minutes ago and no email yet.
I’ve only ordered four cards. One I got, the second I got a confirmation of but many hours later and no card. Last two don’t even have confirmation of though they show up on my orders list. I worry that the fact that there are people doing this on 5+ cards is going to shut it down for everyone before others are able to use it.
I haven’t either
Apple Pay started like this too with double cash back on discover look how big they are now banks probably don’t care about the small loss on the promo if it teaches people about Paze
Has anyone had any issues signing into paze for the first time? It’s not recognizing my email or phone number. When I try to add the cards to paze through the chase mobile app, it just keeps giving me an error message saying to try later. Chase customer service created a ticket for me but they said it will take 2 to 3 days to get back to me.
If you browse google you will find massive threads of people doing exactly what we are doing since 8 this morning. There has to have been a huge response. If they crawl this back, it will be the end of Paze. Paze or Newegg could have stopped this anytime today and they didn’t for a reason. I can’t believe the biggest banks in the country got together and made this big of a blunder.. they had to have expected it, or rather this was the intended response. The more people who get in on this, the more I feel like we are actually “too big to fail”. 🍻
No bigger a blunder than when paypal gave out massive amounts of money with their pay in 4.
I wasn’t a part of that. Quick rundown? Did they claw it back? How long was it left open? Was there a cap on how much someone could get?
This? https://www.doctorofcredit.com/targeted-paypal-20-cashback-when-you-pay-in-4/
Last winter, I think they were giving an insane % off of your order up to like $1250 over any number of pay in 4 txns. Then they made it so it had to be 1 txn before fully taking it away before the original deadline or something
Bummed I got in on that after the terms changed.
No, they honored the promo, but changed it in the middle. So if you got in before the terms change, you got what they promised, and if you got in after the terms change.. you still got what they promised at the time of purchase.
if i had to bet, thats what will happen here. paze will eventually change terms to ONE $10 credit per paze card
Thanks, so getting in early is a strategy. If someone can get $2500 then this is 10x the blunder of the PayPal situation which looks like it capped out at 20% of $1250. I don’t think its really a blunder, more like a massive PR campaign and they don’t mind paying for it. The churners if anything fuel the viralness but are such a minority in the grand scheme to matter.
I don’t think people getting 2500 will be common.
Even semi-passionate folks like me mostly will have 5-10 cards eligible rather than 25. Only hardcore churners have 25
I do think they’re going to nerf this hard in a few weeks though
It was pretty crazy.
I got like 300 off of a big order of camera gear and a 6 week interest free loan lol
I don’t think they factored in churners with 20+ sock drawer credit cards…most traditional consumers would never think to do something like this and if they did, they have what… maybe 3-5 cards if that?
Yea 25 cards is an insane amount, very rare.
I think they’ll cut it off early or nerf it heavily like the Paypal offer.
Me too. So we are in a FOMO situation.
I am thinking the same…I had plans today but knew this was one that should probably be done ASAP
Do you think I can do 10 x $10 Sephora gift cards via sephora.com, checking out using Paze and get the credits?
Does it show the offer when u checkout? If yes likely, if not nope
I don’t even see an option for Paze on Sephora checkout page :/
I don’t think Sephora giftcards let you use Paze unfortunately
Can’t use anything other than a CC on a sephora gift card, sorry. Even the physical ones.
Only able to get about $800 in orders through before Paze suspended my account for 24 hours. For my protection, of course.
How much more damage could you do?
I’ve got 21 cards showing in the paze wallet… so another $1300.
Nice. Hope you get it all.
Perhaps I will be bitten by a nerf, but I’m going to space out over the months they give us.
They will surely change the terms once somebody in accounting goes nuts in the next few days (hours)
I got locked after 3 orders.
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am close to that for P1. P2 is still not showing all the links for PAZE. Have tried all the avenues and no dice yet.
I woke up and immediately hammered out 250 orders on my 25 credit cards. Time to rest.
OMG. Dude is in for $2500 at least. Here I am worried about my $300. The amount of organizing and redeeming for 250 giftcards (if that is what you did) is insane. If this pays out it will be one for the books.
Hard to imagine they are okay just dishing out $2.5k to one person, but these banks are massive so who knows what they are really thinking here.
They’re desperate to get people to use Paze so in the long run they pay less basis points for cards vs existing rails.
Serious or jest? If serious, all Newegg?
100% serious. 248 gift cards from Newegg and 2 from fanatics. Fanatics website is garbage and messed up a lot. But yes. I’ve still only gotten about 90 of the 250 gift cards in my email. I used mine and my wife’s account with two different Newegg accounts so that I could hit Disney and some others harder. I tried a third Newegg account, but they cancelled all off those ones. So what matters is your paze account per account. Some gift cards like dominos and ulta are frustrating because you can’t add them to the account. So trying to figure out the best way to have these gift cards in one folder to use when I need.
Let us know what you do, lol. I don’t have that many but it will be task to keep add them. I know it let me add a few to GCs to Google Wallet.
I’m currently getting limited by Newegg after 2x $10 orders with the same card. New card didn’t fix it either. Also seems like Fanatics took off Paze as a method of payment, dunno how new that is.
Yea, that is what I was worried about. Merchants dropping Paze at least during this initial influx.
Do you need to activate this offer or just checkout with Paze will be enough to get the credit?
Just make sure you see the offer for the credit card you choose during checkout. https://ibb.co/tyV32WW
Add your Chase cards on your mobile app. At least I have to do it on my end cause I could not see them
Does it have to be 10 seperate orders/checkout or can I checkout 10 $10 gift cards at once and still get the $100?
Its $10 per transaction, so separate orders.
im late in trying to buy any gift cards! Just tried buying a chipotle $10 GC from NewEgg and i received an email saying my Paze wallet is temporarily suspended for 24 hours! Looks like the nerf Is currently happening
One order, oh boy…. I think we are in for it now. I have already pushed $300 through my Paze wallet in a few hours. Gonna call it a night and see what the inbox looks like tomorrow before continuing to pillage paze.
Did the order at least go through? Were you chargeed?
nvm
cant even sign into paze….
Were you able to before or is your first time?
It works now signing in with phone number. Stopped working with passkey not sure why
Got a couple of newegg gc’s
If I have a Cap 1 card and my P2 is an AU, can we both get it 10x$10?
Doubtful since the credit is going on the same statement.
Waiting for it to show up on Kalshi whether or not this will be nerfed. I’d bet it will in some way. Hitting it hard for now…
This just kinda seems too good to be true, but I don’t see anything in the fine print.
Just in case Newegg cancels our orders, has anyone found a retailer that accepts Paze that lets you buy gift cards in $10 increments? The list of retailers is very short and many dont sell gift cards or have a minimum spend, etc.
Uber/Uber eats has $10 gift cards on Newegg, which is an easy way to spend this
they were asking for alternate stores in case Newegg cancels orders
No, this is why people are going all in on newegg before they drop the hammer on this.
Dunkin will sell GCs direct via Paze in the app but that’s really the only one that jumps out
I know United and Sephora will not allow Paze
Also keep in mind the terms read: “Paze reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this Offer at any time…” and They also included the broad “fraud, abuse, misuse, or gaming” language. Whether they would apply that to gift-card purchases depends on their interpretation and internal policies. so they get to decide what that means and could theoretically say we did the said above and not give us our credits.
That would suck, but only us churners would get burned so not terrible in their eyes perhaps.
yeah so I’m buying gcs that I would actually use like Home Depot instead of trying to max out the offer across 9 credit cards
anybody else has trouble adding us bank business cards? or does it only work for person?
US Bank were the only cards that were automatically in my paze wallet. Same with capital one.
only personal cards and personal checking debit card were added but not business cards.
Not to be a debbie downer, but I highly doubt we’ll get credit for gift card purchases
It is a risk no doubt, but also it has been verified with a rep giftcards count for what that is worth. And the terms make no mention of giftcards, which most promotions do for obvious reasons. Leaving that out intentionally is going to create so many headaches for paze, why would they do that. It also emphasizes that the offer eligibility is by merchant not what you are buying.
Saw United Airlines and thought it might be an easy way to top up the travel bank. Nope – $50 minimum and only shows credit card for payment.
Not the same as TravelBank, but if I had nothing better to do I might try buying the cheapest UA flight I could find (e.g. $55 LAX-LAS or ORD-STL), then repeatedly change that flight to slightly more expensive flights. If you had 10 eligible cards and could keep the increments to <$15, you could get a $1500 flight for ~$500 in cash.
“When you check out using Paze at an eligible merchant, the Offer details will appear in your Paze wallet when you select your eligible credit or debit card. If the Offer details do not appear during Paze checkout, the transaction will not be eligible for the Offer. Eligibility for the Offer is determined based on how the merchant is classified by the applicable payment network…Merchant categories can change at any time without notice, which may lead to additional exclusions from the Offer.”
Make sure every time you place an order you see the offer. It is possible they could exclude newegg at anytime but still let people check out with Paze.
https://ibb.co/tyV32WW
paze.com says
“Sorry, you have been blockedYou are unable to access paze.com“lol, what!?
Was this after you activated paze and made orders or is this first interaction?
First.
Try incognito, make sure no vpn, try mobile if on wifi. Try activating with your email instead of your number (vice versa). That is weird.
Has anyone received their gift cards from Newegg yet? I had placed a couple of orders in the morning but am yet to receive my gift cards yet (and it doesn’t show cancelled on Newegg either)
It’s extremely delayed. I ordered some late morning and got a few. Then nothing. Then 3 hours later got another. My wife ordered some and instantly got some about 30 minutes ago. The other 6 are just sitting there pending.
Yea, I have received 4/10, it’s slow.
Same. 4 out of 10 newegg gift cards for Dunkin and uber received from this morning around 11am
I can’t imagine they would still be letting my new orders to go through and charging my card if they didn’t intend to fulfil the orders. Much easier to just cancel the orders initially. We will see, but I think we just need to be patient.
Curious question (or pointing it out, in case you weren’t aware)… why go the newegg route for Dunkin, when you can also just use Paze with Dunkin directly to buy GCs?
Nope. Placed 2 orders early this morning.
gotten 35% so far since this morning
0/10 so far. They are all “preparing.” My card has not been charged yet either.
I got 5 Nintendo GCs in before this blew up on blogs, and they delivered instantly. Ordered five other cards on that account, plus 2 on P2’s account, all delayed but still processing. (And when I accidentally used the same card/account to order a 6th Nintendo GC, it insta-cancelled).
BTW reminder that a lot of these shops are also on cashback sites. I imagine they exclude gift cards, but if you get anything else definitely stack that
Anyone have issues adding bofa CC to paze? Tried linking on app, desktop, and mobile and all decline with “were sorry there was an error adding his card, please try again later”. Tried on all 4 of my bofa cards and all rejected.
Exact same situation; waiting for a callback to see if BofA can tell me what’s up…
Those plus my cap1 card aren’t linking, gimme my $500 plz big banks
Added 5 cards about half an hour ago. No problems.
I first had to search “paze” in the AI search area. Once added card, they still were not showing up in Paze wallet. Then I activated Paze via browser with my email instead of my number, and then they showed up. Not sure if that was necessary, but maybe some banks are associating with an email instead of a number. However all the cards regardless are in one Paze wallet.
Yes its linked to ur email or phone number, can login to paze with both. But doesnt matter as neither works for me. Assume its some kind of data match discrepancy but haven’t been able to dig to far into it yet.
Dang, sorry for your bad luck. Maybe their servers are just getting overwhelmed and it will work tomorrow.
On my 3rd order with BofA CC it was declined, had to approve via sms, but the order was already declined and no way to resubmit it with Paze. Hoping the other orders with BofA CC I already placed continue to go through, but may be best to submit 3 orders, wait for them to process and get past that first decline before making more orders.
You can cancel the order and then do the same thing again
After I canceled the declined order the orders after it started going through.
I am not seeing my citi double cash in paze – anyone else have that issue? Can’t seem to do it from citi.com either, although my custom cash works fine
@guest_2343316 I am not seeing my DC either. My AA is showing.
Where is the offer term shows for each card? My paze account says : Spend $10, get $10 back, up to 10 times.Offer valid until 9/10/2026
I am anxious about spending more than 10 transactons
From paze.com/offers
Can I earn up to $100 back on multiple cards in my Paze wallet?Yes. Each card in your Paze wallet is eligible to earn up to $100 back in statement credits. For example, if you have two eligible cards in your Paze wallet, you could get up to $200 back in credits.
See original links in post. It is no fine print.
https://ibb.co/QyX2KG1
Thanks, let me go grab as much as possible going to have sleepless night . lol
Good luck!
Ordered two $10 home depot gift cards about 4 hours ago with two different credit cards through paze and still waiting for them to get emailed. If I really was going to use the gift cards no matter what I might have went all in (13 cards x $100 for $1300), but I figured there would be a rush and stuff would break and people might not pay out.
I’m in the same scenario. I am buying gift cards only from things that I was already going to spend money on. Worst case scenario they say nah we aint honoring this. And I’ll still spend the month that I was going to spend anyways.
Same, now I am doing autozone, lowes, and home depot mostly.
Taking the fam to Disneyland so why not try and get a discount. I have my wife doing it too. I did notice that after the first 2 it tens to hang processing additional ones. I got my first 2 Disney and Starbucks on both then it sat… So we’ll see what comes of the others.
Good luck, hope it goes well for you and your family.
There will be a limit of 5 of each card per household.
I did 10x$10, now Paze says I can’t login right now, and to try again.
That happening to anyone else?
If you’re okay with being limited to stuff on Newegg, you can buy unlimited $10 Newegg gift cards with this. There’s no velocity limit with their own gift cards. Probably about a 5-10 minute delay. I’ve bought 27 today so far.
If you go into your Newegg account and go to gift cards, there’s a reload account balance button that works with Paze still but this way automatically adds the gift card to your account.
As in Amazon, you cannot use Newegg GCs to buy other GCs there, correct?
Correct.
Contrary DP – P2 got Paze suspended after 10 orders. While newegg might be okay, Paze might not. Paze emailed that the account will be unlocked after 24 hours.
P2 had previously used Paze and had previously utilized the promo from Chase for $50 off.
I did not have that $50 Chase promo on any of my cards. Today, I was able to make many orders across different merchants. I maxed 4 cards and started on a 5th at this point.
Good tip
Well I did want a Nintendo Switch 2 lol and have enough CCs to make it work so yay me
Sucks to pay $17 shipping for no reason but it’s worth it 🙂
Are people really launching 10x $100? I’m a bit too risk averse to run this on all my cards…
The only risk is buying gift cards, if they don’t fulfill the requirements otherwise itll be grounds for a lawsuit. Paze is run by EWS, which iirc was made as an agreement between the biggest banks
Yes, I’m aware. I’m kind of debating do I really want to be hard stuck with 100 gift cards of $10 denominations? And then deal with the headache of trying to get Paze to pay me back…
For manyGCs you can load them onto your account
This is a good point. Terms seem pretty cut and dry otherwise, but a lot hinges on whether they classify balance reloads and closed loop gift cards as “prepaid cards”.
Yes. Newegg clearly knows something is up and is still processing my orders and charging my card. You’d think they would just stop and talk to Paze to get some clarification, but more likely they new this was going to happen. There aren’t a ton of vendors that accept Paze, so I would imagine they thought through some of the likely scenarios. With that said, who really knows until we start seeing the credits in our account 2 months from now.
I did the 2nd round on Dunkin through the app. immediate delivery
aaaaand he’s started.
Is there any way to buy $10 United Gift cards? Or has anyone seen how the gift card purchases via MileagePlus track when using Paze?
If you can check out via Paze, it will count, per the terms.
You should make sure you SEE the $10 for $10 offer when you check out. If you don’t, then per the terms that merchant does not qualify even if you check out with Paze.
https://ibb.co/tyV32WW
This will show even if you have done your 10 transactions, so keep count.
If this works fully it will make all those sock drawer cards worth it. I have a *lot* of cards coming up in my Paze checkout (I think I’ve only activated Chase). Easiest route would be free coffee for a year+, but also wondering if it’s worth stocking up on Disney gift cards at Newegg then combining them all on the Disney gift card site.
I’m trying to combine those two approaches. The problem with the Disney approach is the throttling by Newegg – only 5 $10 cards a day. I also ordered mine at around 1:30 central and I haven’t received yet/, although the charges went through and the orders were confirmed. We will see what happens!
Thanks for the info! Sounds like it would take somewhere in the neighborhood of 3+ weeks for me to get all the Disney GC’s (if I could actually get 5 every single day). After I max my 10 on Chase Flex for dunkin, maybe I’ll chip away at Newegg with a spreadsheet and see how it goes. Sounds better than $800 worth of lattes!
Bought 2x $5 Starbucks cards via Newegg, paid with CSR via Paze, delivered in 5 minutes and in my Starbucks app right now.
Reminds me of the monthly GoPuff benefit in 2024. Lots of free stuff!
That was awesome. Miss GoPuff all the time!
My chase cards are not showing up on Paze for reason, no other banks have this issue.
just go into chase app, and under wallet, add it to paze
Business credit/debit cards won’t show.
For my chase debit I had to go in on mobile, dig around the app and manually add it
Ditto. Citi, BofA and WF worked fine but no freaking Chase and no way to add them. Meh, there is only so many Uber and CVS cards I can use. CVS also does not seem to allow more than one GC per checkout.
Instructions for Chase: via mobile app go to the card > manage account (just under the big card picture) > Digital Wallets > Paze
Tried it, i get “you don’t have eligible cards” popup. Never used paze with Chase and looks like this is a well known issue from Chase’s side.
I added my cards from Chase this way. They were originally not showing up. Maybe try via the browser. May have to “activate” Paze using your phone number and your email address.
My Chase Freedom Flex does not seem to be eligible for Paze. Odd.
It was for me once I added it via #2343275
Actually scratch that, I manually added a Chase card by going through Digital Wallets in the Chase app.
how did you add citi?
Paze gonna paid via peace deal?
none of my citi cards show up when I try to link with Paze, anyone else having issues?
Phone number worked for me on my Custom card. Email for the rest
If you linked just now, few for few minutes before checking out. You should see.
the only option is the “Activate Paze” button, whereas other banks take you to a login screen. The activate paze just kicks me out to the login screen over and over again.
You have to activate paze and then also go into each bank account and sometimes each card and add them to Paze. You should be able to see which cards are added already if any via https://mywallet.paze.com/home/myWallet
right – i have a paze account active from a previous offer. Also checked my citi app digital wallets section
Is this still working for anyone? Paze is just quitting on me
at 30/60 gift cards received
I tried to do gift cards at GNC but Paze only comes up if I have an actual product in my cart, if I try to just buy a $10 gift card, Paze isn’t an option to pay.
Highly possible that 100$ total credit will be limited to 1 paze account and not card.
Its too risky to throw $ on gift cards.
I only did 100$.
Not saying that you wont get across multiple cards…if course i might be wrong.
They already stated on the promo page it’s per card not per account, would be very hard to walk that back
We’ve seen a human moonwalk!
They can walk anything back.
Look what happened with Grubhub’s Gold Days from May with $50 off $100 grocery every weekend in May. That lasted exactly 1 weekend.
Sure, but they did that before actually getting to the next week’s offer, not retroactively for purchases already made
They straight up give an example on the official offer page saying how you can earn $200 across two cards. They are encouraging it.
https://ibb.co/QyX2KG1
not trying to copy you buy trying to see how much confidence i can yet develop?
I am only in $200 with two cards. I am willing to put another $100 in lowes, home depot, and autozone. Lumber is lumber and oil is oil. No real risk for me if the $ is in those vendors. I only have 9 eligible cards, so there is a ceiling.
Bought 2x$5 Starbucks gift cards via Newegg. Charged via paze to my CSP. Gift cards delivered via email within 5 minutes. I’ve already added them to my Starbucks app.
I pulled some cards out of my sock drawer for this one; I did 70x $10 Dunkin gift cards, 10x on each Quicksilver, Savor, REI, BJ’s, USB Cash+, WF Active Cash, and WF debit card. Let’s see how this works out.
If $10 or $15 giftcards are out of stock, then you can start stacking 2x $5. But there is still probably some limit.
All GC filtered by price: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100162661&Order=1
Terms do exclude gift cards so cautious readers may want to wait for confirmed DPs. I assume the gift cards bought through newegg wont get caught but we will have to see.
The terms do not exclude GCs, they exclude “prepaid” cards (in the same clause as leases loans and foreign currency, all of which are very different from merchant-specific gift cards). I take that as meaning prepaid *debit* cards
They do not. And it has been confirmed with a rep that they do not, but that was not necessary.
#2343278
#2343189
Does this stack with the chase sapphire preferred 12% off Paze? I think it’s 14% for the sapphire reserve. Really juicy offer if this stacks. You essentially get paid for buying those $10 GCs.
Ordered 10x Uber/5x Dunkin’/5x Grubhub about an hour ago, 11/20 delivered so far. I have a Newegg account that’s several years old with previous GC orders so I’m not sure if that factors into it.
I am still waiting for a $20 Chewy and a $10 Lowe’s that I ordered 3 hours and 2.5 hours ago.
I bought a $100 Chewy gc on June 13 for the Chase 10% cash back and received that within 4 minutes.
I don’t buy much from Newegg. Just H&R Block tax software every year.
Paze now says “coming soon” lol I ordered a few and now it’s grayed out.
newegg $10 & $15 gift cards (various restaurants)
10 ordered, 3hr 30min ago
1 delivered, 2 hr after ordered
9 pending still
yikes?
Same, I have only gotten 1 of my 5 $10 gc. All orders were charged.
I have spent most of the morning doing this. Some things to note-
Hope that helps!
You can order 2x $10 starbucks in one transaction
But only get 10 back
Yea started the spreadsheet. This will also help just manage the giftcard numbers/pins and which have been used, added to my accounts, etc.
Should there be a Paze thing to check at check out or are you all just using the card(s) linked to your Paze account?
You have to specifically check out with paze
I think sometimes it only shows up on mobile checkout
You select Paze at check out, sign in with your email/phone #, and after picking one of your available cards to pay, there will be a little picture showing this offer. Once you see that offer there, it’s applied and you should be set. Don’t use the card directly or it won’t trigger.
Now if Newegg fulfills your order that’s a different story…
You should get a Paze checkout option, and use Paze to checkout.
Is this 10 transactions per card or a total of 10 transactions in Paze across all cards ? I see the offer only on my US bank card, not on any other cards.
Grabbed 4 $15 DoorDash GC on Newegg. Let’s hope this ends well.
I am glad orders are going through and getting delivered. The only hiccups were with the credit cards flagging the transactions (Citi, WF, and BoFA)
What all have you done out of curiosity?
Almost all of it lol. Due to the 5 limit, I don’t have much of a choice but to order most of the cards from the website. Groupon and Regal have been delivered till now.
You mean you have just been doing newegg? I heard they have a 5x on giftcards a day, or is it per giftcard company per day? Am interested how yours play out. I have non delivered yet.
Autozone is a solid one for me. Every so often I drop some decent money on them, so having a stockpile of giftcards will be useful instead of just getting food gc I would not normally buy anyways.
5 per gift card. So various gift cards should work (and did work). My only concern is whether they will exclude gift cards in the T&C
okay good to know. I have ordered 5 from newegg across 3 vendors. Only received 1 so far. All been charged.
Dominos 7 topping large pizza for $9.99 is back.
$10+ with sale tax.
Will do Uber gift cards only since I can use them to buy Grocery that I need to buy anyway if this does not work, I do not need 100$ on Dunkin haha.
Some brand new MBAs created this promotion. I don’t know how it got approved to release. lmao
This whole offer could be remedied if they said you could not buy giftcards, which they may still say retroactively. Most the retailers sell much more expensive things than $10 or are consumables which is limited how much food you can eat or give away. Newegg is oddball because it sells actual stuff, so you could just keep buying $10 items in theory, but probably not that desirable. The giftcards are really the primary exploitable route.
Or its genius because what this really is about is getting more vendors accepting Paze. So if there is this craze amount traffic and free money flowing to these vendors, it is an incentive for vendors to get in on this ASAP. People will be going to dominos, whataburger, dunkins, wendys, outback, autozone much more often just because its basically free food. Vendors know once you get a customer making a habit of doing business, even after the promotion ends they are very likely to continue choosing you over competitors when all other things are equal.
They already (supposedly) told DansDeals they’re going to allow gift cards so curious how they’d walk that back
Yea reading through their thread. Seems like they have it on good authority GCs are allowed.
The terms do exclude gift cards. But the systems don’t always catch all instances
Can you quote the part that excludes giftcards?
I see no mention of the word “gift”. It does say there can be exclusions but those are based on the merchant, so if you check out you may not see Paze or you may not see the $10 for $10 offer. If you see that offer, then that merchant is not excluded. The excluded merchant list doesn’t mention gift cards, so unless I am missing something you are just making stuff up.

If the Offer details do not appear during Paze checkout, the transaction will not be eligible for the Offer. Eligibility for the Offer is determined based on how the merchant is classified by the applicable payment network. Transactions at merchants classified by the applicable payment network in certain categories may not be eligible for the Offer, including merchants categorized as gambling or betting services (e.g., casinos, lotteries, sportsbooks, and online gambling sites), drug stores and pharmacies (including pet pharmacies), financial services (e.g., cash disbursements, cryptocurrency, foreign currency, prepaid cards, leases, loans, money transfer, securities), adult/dating content/services, guns and ammunition, courts/government fines, political fundraising, medical services and healthcare providers (not including Quest Diagnostics), spa and massage services, specialty stores (e.g., beauty supplies—not including Sephora, collectibles, fireworks, frames, monuments, magic, maps, sunglasses, trophies), tele/direct marketing (e.g., classified ads, subscriptions, travel-related services—not including consumer initiated airline sales), and wholesale durable goods. Merchant categories can change at any time without notice, which may lead to additional exclusions from the Offer.
They probably honed in on “prepaid cards”
True. This paragraph is all about classifying a merchant. When checking out with newegg it shows the offer, thus the merchant is classified for the offer. If you didn’t see the offer, then its probably because the merchant falls into one of these categories. It never says that it is based on what you buy at a merchant. They could however change Newegg’s eligibility at any time, but if they applied that retroactively that could get messy. It is all a risk in the end of the day. The biggest risk is that they shutdown this gc option after today, by deeming newegg ineligible for the offer. Or newegg internally prohibits Paze option for gc orders.
My Venture X declined after the 2nd try creating a new GC inside the Dunkin Donuts App, the first one went fine.
For people with little risk appetite-
I’m somewhat in the same boat. But keep in mind you can resell gift cards on exchanges, some for like ~80% or more of face value, so there’s is a method to recoup money if it doesn’t end up paying out
Good point. I bought a dunkin gift card right in the app, so I never saw the code to sell. So I gotta sell my account if things go south haha.
5x dunkin donut giftcards via the app (not reloads) then merged them all. I’m already $50 in the hole for coffee I never actually pay for. This better pull through.
Already charged my chase fredom flex CC.
How is it paid out ? $10 Statement credit to the respective credit or debit card being used?
Supposedly statement credit within 2 billing cycles to be paid out per card
I’m up to $150 at Dunkin… though I go there a lot. This better pull through lol.
Madman haha
Am I the only one who remembers AmEx Express Checkout when they ran a similar deal? Hahah
How did that go? Did we all get rich quick?
You are not the only one. I thought of this exact same thing too, but I couldn’t remember the name Amex Express Checkout. I think I got a lot of Sabon gift cards from that.
I did 5 giftcards on Newegg and two on the Dunkin app. $70 is what I can stomach if they decide not to payout for whatever reason.
Bought 3 Newegg gift cards across 2 different paze cards. They were just delivered. Scared to do more
even if its delivered, it still wont show statement credit for a while right?
This feels very dangerous. Lots of places for this to go wrong…
Im just buying stuff I know Im gonna need, Airbnb, United and Dunkin. If it does not pay I’m still need those in the next 3 months.
If I have to pay full price for $50 of dunkins I am going to be so annoyed lol.
anyone can help me with paze merchant payrange? i manage a building with laundry machines and we use payrange can i prepay payrange and then liqudate minus payranges 3.5 percent fee
i’m confused. newegg doesn’t work. dunkin/united/omaha/broadway don’t appear to sell gc at all! so this is useless unless buying a real product? what a crock.
I ordered 5 subway and 5 ubereats on Newegg and it worked on my freedom unlimited. I could not get it to work with my VenX however so maybe try a different card.
update paze is working for me at NE!
For United, search for travel bank. You can buy gc’s in $50 increments. They are good for 5yrs.
Have never done this before. Can someone confirm if debit, personal and biz cc all count? or case by case. Probably have 40-50 cards between 4Ps. Cant just be a free 5k right?
Depends on the bank. PNC, Truist, US Bank debit cards count. Chase debit and business cards, Citi debit cards, and Capital one debit cards don’t seem to be eligible for Paze. Unsure for other merchants
Chase debit linked for me. Were you unable to?
Thanks good catch, I tried my business account but not personal, personal debit I was able to
My Cap1 debit (discover) is available for paze and the promotion
Interesting, wonder why it won’t let me add mine
Try on a desktop, mine also wouldn’t show on the app
No luck, but thank you for the tip!
Add your phone number or email in Paze and you will see a list of those cards available to you. I got 12 of those 4 debit cards already closed. However, I have my Chase account under a different email and that didnt show.
Just log in and see what is available I don’t think biz cards are. Honestly, if you are interested in taking part in this one, I’d start purchasing now. Don’t think this will last.
This is the equivalent of a mob looting mentality. Why would they do this? lol
20x on Newegg, different brands, but only 1 has shipped. The rest are pending.
RIP your newegg account.
I went with 5x of one brand. I figure if that’s their official limit per 24 hours, then its probably fairly safe
Another Uber GC was delivered. Also, I did 5x Disney GC after the initial batch and 3 of them were instantly delivered.
Buy $10 gift cards at newegg. Cash them out since they are under $15 in California due to California law. Profit?
Got 3 cards before newegg before paze blocked purchases. At least 30 free dollars :/
Is this across your whole Paze account or is it per card? It shows the offer next to each card.
$100 per card. This is said in like 5 different places so there is no confusiion.
You are absolutely right, sorry.
Its cool, I mentioned that its in 5 different places just to reassure you its something Paze is really making sure people are aware.
Looks like ShopRite online gift cards sell through wakefern which does not show paze as a payment option. There are some cards eligible for pickup but it looks they they charge pickup fee of 4.99.
Zero chance this doesn’t get nerfed immediately. What marketing genius came up with this one? I bought one gift card and fully expect it to get rejected.
They are very explicit in the offer saying you can use this for multiple cards, like they are encouraging this. They could have easily set a $300 limit per person or something. This is an unhinged marketing campaign.
They hired the get 20% back Paypal pay later guy.
So since you may receive the $10 credit within 2 billing cycles. So I assume that means if I don’t normally use these cards, I am going to have a negative balance on all of them when the credit hits, because I will still fully pay the credit cards off on time. Which means you also need the money to pay off all of these purchases first, unless you stagger them out but that is a month to stagger and I have a hard time believing this deal will last that long (Paze or vendors like Newegg getting burnt out)
So this also is an indirect incentive for the banks to get people to use dormant cards for several months. Gonna take a little work, but free $100 per card is not bad.
This is a good point. Banks also can refund you a credit balance on your account via check or ACH. So, once you have the negative balance, you can call up the bank or instant message them to have the balance refunded.
American Express mailed me a check automatically after two statement cycles.
How quickly $10 will be awarded ?
ask us again in a month. this just started today.
up to 2 billing cycles it says, so yea you may be paying this off and then later getting the credit (hopefully)
“$10 gift card” seems to be a trending search on newegg’s site heh
You pray they gave Newegg a headsup.
After my 5th 10$ giftcard purchase, Newegg cancelled all my giftcard orders. Same issue with different card as well.
The cancellations have begun.
Paze suspended my wallet now for 24 hours citing “unusual activity”. Well I just hope the ones that did go through will get the 10 usd statement credit.
Same for P2.
How many did you do? What vendors? Per vendor?
Did the orders actually get charged to your card? If charges are getting reversed, that may be why Paze is going to suspend us.
Thanks for being the first one through the gate.
There are limits with gift cards. Max of 5 per brand. Are you trying to place the same brand or a different one?
I thought it was 5 GC per 24 hours in total on Newegg, is that not correct?
It’s 5 per brand. I did 40 GC cards already (4 x 10)
Holy-
I kneel
Were you charged for all of them? Have you received all of the gifcards in the email?
Was doing different brands.
One of my three different ones went through, the rest still pending.
Might need to wait for the initial inevitable surge to die down…
Okay stopping at 3
Newegg fully charged me for the 3x $10 giftcard orders.
They(or any merchant) can easily cancel GC orders before they are delivered and simply refund the card used. You aren’t really “charged” until the “pending” charge posts as a transaction. If they cancel the order due to suspected fraud or abuse the pending charge will simply fall off and never post.
Retailers have automation/AI to cancel suspicious orders. Unfortunately duplicate orders of $10 third party GCs within minutes of each other looks very suspicious.
Thanks for the info. I am just giving an update that the orders are at least making it to this stage, not that I am home free and halfway to mexico haha.
I have gotten 1/5 gift cards delivered. A bit concerning but also makes sense since they are probably getting hammered.
Believe Newegg only allows 5 gift cards every 24 hours
I just did 5 subway and 5 uber at the same time for $100 on one card. No issue so far.
5 gift cards of the same yes but you can buy more if you switch to a different GC brand/amount
This happening to anyone else at checkout?
Sorry for the inconvenience!
The transaction was not able to be completed with Paze.
Seems like Newegg is already clamping down.
I just did 10 $10 orders no issue. 5x subway and 5x ubereats
Went through with me. No charges on card though. The marketing campaign backfires when people find out Paze is unreliable and gets your orders cancelled.
I see my Cap1 card, but not BOA or WF cards in Paze account that I just created.
When I tried to add those missing cards, it directed me to BOA or WF pages, but nothing happens after logging in those BOA or WF accounts.
How can I add missing cards?
Go from the mobile app and dig around a bit in the app to try and find digital wallets section.
Keep in mind, from what I can tell only debit cards from some merchants qualify, and my Chase business card didn’t seem to qualify for Paze either
P2 specifically got an email from Truist this morning first informing me of the promo, so it seems that debit cards from them are eligible.
Yep Truist, PNC, and US Bank debit cards qualify.
Idk about other places
For boa, just type “paze” in the Erica chat app
Seems like Newegg is limiting you to 5 $10 GCs on each brand
Was that just enforced now?
No. It is the same in the past as well. For a high value like $500 limit is only one.
Note for Dunkin’ you’ll need to use the app to use Paze on GCs. On the left hamburger menu, the last option
Don’t see that option.
Do you have to signup for their ‘rewards’ to be able to see it?
This only seems to work for actual orders
GC balance reloads cannot be done with Paze as detailed in the post above.
Yes, they can, I just did it myself. The trick is not to reload an existing card, but to purchase a new gift card. After that, you can merge the gift cards
Brother thanks a lot 😀 I didnt even think of doing a new card.
I’ll add a note
Ordered $100 in gift cards. I think I’ll not try to push my luck too far and just use the rest of my cards to get free food at Dominos/Wendy’s/Dunkin 😀
yeah I’m trying to think how much I’ll be okay being down if I end up not getting the refunds
Also, not seeing Wendys or Whataburger on the merchant list
Okay they show up on the Wendys (and presumably Whataburger) apps themselves, but not on Pazes merchant list when signed in
I see it (at bottom of list)
Interesting, wonder if its a mobile vs desktop thing
Donuts for life! Obesity is my virtue.
Placed 20 orders on Newegg for gift cards. 6 gift cards arrived within minutes, and all other orders are confirmed. Need to wait and see if my account got flagged.
Talk about go big or go home… I started with 3.
Same, first 5 (Nintendo ) got within minutes. Others ( homedepot + chipotle not seeing yet )
Nintendo came fast for me too, still waiting on Uber and DD
Newegg checkout does not appear to be working at the moment. Customer service says their tech team is working with Paze to resolve.
is this 10×10 is per bank or per card? i have multiple cards of same bank
per card
am i doing somthing wrong i keep getting eror when puting in my cell or email
i keep getting this on diff browsrer
System error. Please try again later.
The real risk is if Newegg stops allowing Paze for gift cards. But hopefully they stay comfortable with it given that Paze should theoretically be more secure and legit transactions.
I’ve never used paze, I made an account but it only has a couple of my cards. It says I can add more from each merchant. Should I dig around on each merchant to try and find how to add my cards, or is it okay/better to make more than one paze account?
Also man does it suck that I lost a lot of my old debit cards in my move…
Other issues include Newegg “running out” or halting sale of $10 third party GCs due to this, and/or your bank/EWS not posting the credits(which in the terms say could be up to 2 statement cycles).
Okay, so each app has a way to add them manually, just debit cards from Chase, Capital One, and Citi don’t seem to qualify for Paze. They do seem to for Truist and PNC though
B/C most of us have 10+ qualifying cards. I’m trying to figure out how to maximize an offset to a big purchase @ $10 a transaction. Vacation, Appliances, etc.
Should stack with Chase offer on Fanatics, if so desired.
Are there any newegg gcs that dont have a 5 item limit?
Testing it out with two transactions at Newegg for Starbucks gift cards. Will verify that works before doing any more.
They have 2 months to pay this out. This will get shut down before then.
Did you try already? I’ve tried checking out on Newegg several times with a $10 subway gift card and I’m in an endless loop trying to pay with Paze.
Yes. made two orders of $5 2x Starbucks and both confirmed. Waiting for actual gift cards to arrive.
turns out my VenX is in an endless loop but it worked fine on a chase card.
Dunkin gift cards goes to:
https://dunkin.gift.solutions/design-choice/dunkin?cardFormat=digital
Will that qualify?
Same with Dominoes:
https://dominosstore.wgiftcard.com/responsive/personalize_responsive/personalize/dominos_responsive/2
Not seeing any way to checkout with Paze on either of those card sites. Only on the main sites where you order food.
Use the Dunkin app to buy GCs with Paze
Loaded it. Not seeing a way to buy GCs there
Yeah not a load, purchase gift cards.
Three bars in top left -> send gift cards
Loaded, installed .. whatever.
No GC option under the three bar menu.
But I haven’t ‘joined’ their rewards if that’s required to see it..
Will discover card comes under capitalone now to use paze?
Can I use debit cards to get this offer?
Add all your cards and check if the green offer banner shows up at checkout, should be easy to check.
There’s absolutely no way they give me ~$2,500 for free. There’s going to be people with 50+ eligible cards.
Terms technically exclude prepaid card and the terms give the banks and Paze full leeway to reverse the statement credits. There’s a chance we’re left holding the bag of thousands of dollars in gift cards.
Dans Deals says a Paze spokesperson confirmed gift cards qualify, but who knows…
Has a spokesperson ever been incorrect or overruled?
Never *places another newegg order*
This! Be careful out there.
You got to believe man! But your caution is very reasonable. If they leave us holding the bag, it would be an absolute terrible net marketing campaign for Paze. I have to think you should be able to get at least $200 since they say that on the offer page, but not putting a limit makes me feel like even $600 should totally be expected. If you are doing this on 20+ cards, yea they may just say screw you, but why even have this marketing campaign if you are going to burn possible big spenders.
I see a class action if they don’t pay up.
“If Paze, a participating financial institution, or participating merchant determines, in their sole discretion, that you have engaged in or attempted fraud, abuse, misuse, or gaming related to this Offer, you may be deemed ineligible for the Offer, and your participating financialinstitution may reverse or removepreviously issued statement creditsor temporarily prohibit you fromearning statement credits”
Don’t want people to maximize your promotion? Write it correctly.
lol, will my account be blocked by newegg??!!
Newegg getting slammed right now for sure.
We’ll remember this one for years.
$10 gift card is trending on their search bar, gee wonder why hahaha
I’m eligible to churn Wells Fargo, US Bank, and BofA, so this is potentially a $300 stack on top of $1350 in bonuses for those three banks.
Not to mention I have three Chase CCs, P2 has one, also a US Bank CC and a Truist debit card for a current bonus. Too bad it doesn’t include biz cards or I could have doubled that tally.
Newegg has a decent chunk of $10 e gift cards to various places.
This seems too good to be true…. $600 with cards I already have plus another $300 if I churn some more bonuses that I am up for and are easy ones.
I got all excited when I got the email for this on my one Truist debit card, didn’t realize how large a network this is, AND it includes credit cards too!
FYI Shop Rite will let you order gift cards online but when you go to pick them up they make you go in and pay at the register.
When trying to log in: We’re having trouble signing you in.Please try again later.
I had the same and switched browsers and it fixed that
Wow, this feels insane.
Between me and P2, we have 28 cards with BoA, Chase, Citi, Capital One, and US Bank.
are they really going to pay $2,800? Am I going to be able perform 280 $10 transactions without going crazy? Lol
yeah me too, i have 8 eligible so far. Kinda tempted to try 80 transactions lol. So far im trying the gift cards on newegg.
1)yes
2)no
Theoretically yes. But assuming you go the Newegg route, I am sure Newegg will flag your account at some point long before you hit the 280 transactions lol.
Whats the newegg route? Can I load balance there?
Figured it
That would be epic if you pulled that off.
Bet you didn’t wake up today thinking you would be able to rack up $2800(tax free!) for a little legwork…
My believe is our account could be flagged; I’ll do one of each card a day I have 10 lol
This has to get shut down fast. lol
I mean that press release reads like a brand awareness campaign and they are trying to get awareness out there for their brand, so they have to assume and know the cost is $100 per customer/card and ran the numbers.
They know how many active cards are out there and figured the $100 cost per card is worth it I guess(also knowing not everyone will use the full $100). If the gen public did bank bonuses like our community here did, they wouldn’t exist because they would lose money.
EWS is owned by all these banks, who together pulled in over $400 billion last year(and have trillions in assets), so this isn’t some little startup company.
Yes, seems like they have a huge incentive (fraud avoidance?) to gain adoption.
“You may earn up to ten (10) $10 statement credits up to a total of $100 in statement credits per eligible credit or debit card available in your Paze wallet during the Offer Period”
This is huge!
