Our Verdict
Standard is .5% back, now it’s up to 3% back. It’s not much, but Walmart gift cards are hard to come by with a discount so this is something. My guess is that shopping portals don’t work for Raise Pay first-hand gift card purchases.
Is it dead? It’s only showing .5% for me, no 3%
Pricing expires 4/30/19 11:59PM CST. SO yes.
And I posted that at 8:23pm CST…
I got an alert early this morning and they had $250 denominations at first. I was able to get 2 $250 ones. The 3% still showed as available but the transaction was canceled when trying to buy more.
Has anyone tried to use WM gift cards at WM or Sam’s Club to buy other gift cards?
I used the gift cards to buy other gift cards except VGC at Sam’s Club com. It works great.
They work ok. If you are doing this you should get the sam’s club (online only) gift cards through raise pay for 5% back that raise is not pumping as a sale. Or walmart gift cards at gyft.com with ink cash through paypal for 5x
Yes, it works fine. I do this pretty frequently.
Oh, I’m talking in-store. I’m pretty sure they work online, but have never tried.
Have you tried buying any VGC/MCGC/AGC with them in store, or the “Happy” line of gift cards?
No; just “ordinary” third-party gift cards.
I would highly recommend this to buy GCs. I had a bunch come back unactivated and if I had purchased with a GC, I would’ve had no recourse and been out a lot of bucks. If you are going to do it, definitely don’t do it on iTunes GCs.
The only thing is, these print at home gift cards can’t be used in the self checkout. This makes you get on a long line to wait to checkout.
Add it to walmart app and use walmart pay.
Except then you can’t get a receipt. I don’t buy anything at WMT that isn’t on Ibotta.
You can email a receipt to yourself with walmart pay. Whether that works for ibotta I don’t know.
If you want a receipt, after totaling the sale just drop any coin into the payment slot at the self-checkout (I usually use a penny or nickel); once it registers tap “Pay another way.”
You’ll be presented with the WMP QR code again… scan it with WMP business as usual.
Once the sale completes you’ll get a paper receipt, plus you’ll be able to submit the receipt to the Savings Catcher (until they kill it, anyway). Other than the minor inconvenience of having to have a different tender type handy it’s the best of both worlds.
This is how I’ve been ‘forcing’ it to give me a paper receipt when I know I’ll need one – it’s easier than emailing an electronic copy to myself.
Note: Using a coupon will *not* force a receipt; it needs to be a different form of split-payment.
Edited to add: I’ve been able to use print-at-home WM gift cards at the self checkout before (without WMP), I had to use the hand scanner, though.
Why do you need a printed receipt? If you want to return something app version works fine.
Because you get cashback on Ibotta app deals by taking a photo of your receipt
Yes Walmart Pay works great.
I did this in three transactions. The first one was a $200 card for $200. The second one was a $200 card for $194 (using the $6 raise cash from the previous order). The third one was a $100 card for $94.18 (using the $5.82 raise cash from the previous order). Still have $2+ raise cash to use up from this last one.
Smart
Great job!
Used to be a Costco fan until I found you can easily get Walmart GC at discount. Walmart GC works at Sams club Recently I gotten 10% off thru their promotion. Plus I usually get my Sam’s club membership for free. Unlike Citi Sychrony doesn’t cancel your credit card if you don’t maintain your membership. Now I’m paying $60 a year to keep my Costco credit card which is one of my oldest account (they kept the history when it was transferred over from AMEX) ugh
Raise is offering 5% cash back on first-hand Sam’s club gift cards in $15-25 denominations, not sure if they can be used at Walmart though.
They can.
If it’s any worth mentioning, $25 gc is OOS .. Orders try $15 or $20.
This is 3% raise cash to be used on a future order, correct (as opposed to off the purchase price of this order)? I think these can be used at Sam’s Club, so this would offer a net discount of nearly 6% with my BOA card but not sure I’ll be making any additional Raise purchases in the near future.
Yes
Any one knows if boa cash rewards got 3% at Raise? Thanks!
According to Payments Workshop it does https://www.doctorofcredit.com/payments-workshop/
It does. It also considers walmart as a grocery store (2%) for in-store purchases unlike amex, discover, etc.
I usually get some Sam’s Club gift card to use at Walmart when these is any promotion, like freedom 5% or Dosh 10%
Dosh and Yelp now MIA 🙁
