Our Verdict
Bonus has been as high as $200 and only required $500 in regular spend in the past. Mygiftcardplus regularly has gift cards on sale though, so this could be useful for some people.
Hat tip to GC Galore
Do they sell a gift card that can easily be turned into cash, or where one can buy a Visa or Mastercard GC? Thank you.
Is this an actual signup bonus or a bonus for new/existing cardholders for making these giftcard purchases?
Following the link, it says, “Earn up to $175 in additional cash back rewards when you pay with your Upromise® Mastercard®.” Looks like a regular spend bonus vs. a sign-up bonus (which I have to admit I was thinking it was until you asked and I checked).
