Chuck - Southwest is back at Sam's at $449.99 for the $500 GC.
No longer available online. Will try in store tomorrow.
Rakuten 12% cashback tracked successfully for me.
For me as well, but I would be surprised if they pay out. It's too good to be true.
@guest_1743325 @guest_1713640 Did Rakuten claw back your cash back? I logged into my account today to find it gone.
A month ago, those points looked like they were removed from the payout, but were still in the account. Since then, they were added back to the payout which was done today.
Nope, seems fine for me!
Dead already
@Jay, thanks for letting everyone know. This one died around 10:30am EST this morning. Between the portal cashback, the 1% Chase Offer (on the first $240) and 5% at wholesale clubs, this one might have been the deal of the year. Too early to say that?!? :)
@EastsideBK easily the deal I was most looking forward to. Of course I’m jet lagged and didn’t wake up in time to buy any. Oh well, always next year
OOS
I have three Chase cards. This morning the Freedom Flex offered 10% bonus up to $24 in rewards if you add Sam's under the Chase offers. The same card has an additional 5% if you run the order through Chase Ultimate rewards. On top of that it currently is a 5% category. I can get 20% on first $240 bucks of spend online.
Thanks for HU. Got it on my CFF as well.
Rakuten has 12% at Sam's so may be better to click through there instead of Chase Ultimate rewards.
Don't have anything to buy there right now so I may just pick up a Sam's GC for use later.
Thanks for the heads up. Had it on a Flex and two Ink cards as well.
I'll add a note
Chase Ultimate Rewards ordering for that extra 5% excludes Gift cards, but I'm not seeing that restriction on Rakuten
Sam's is awesome.
also 10% off samsclub purchase on my sapphire cards, check it
I got 10% as well, up to $24 on my Flex card, so 5X points. I've also had moderate success with GC purchases tracking on portals for Sam's Club, so this is potentially a great stacking opportunity.
Got a 10% back offer for Sam’s via CSR.
This deal is now live as of 12:01am on 11/23. Limit is five $500 SWA giftcards per member. Even with the upcoming devaluation, this is still a sweet deal IMO.
Devaluation is for miles. Gift card value is unaffected.
@TysonC thanks for clarifying. I was just responding to comments elsewhere on this blog speculating that the miles devaluation was in part because SWA has been selling heavily discounted giftcards at Costco and Sams Club asoflate.
