Update 6/5/24: Deal is back again. Promo codes SUPERDAD and SUPERDAD10 and SUPERDAD24.
The Offer
Direct Link to offer (contains our affiliate – you might want to use a shopping portal instead)
- Giftcards.com has 10% off on $100 Visa virtual gift cards with promo code SUPERDAD and SUPERDAD10. Limit 3 cards.
The Fine Print
- Promo code SUMMER10 valid 05/13/2024 – 06/02/2021 for 10% off the purchase of up to $300 worth of Visa Virtual Gift Accounts from Giftcards.com while supplies last (maximum value $30)
Our Verdict
Max this out with a single order of three $100 Visa e-gift cards, and you’ll end up with a bit of savings. The fee is $5.95 per card, and you’ll get $10 off. Total should be $4.05 ‘profit’ per card which some might find worthwhile. Readers were saying with prior deals that shopping portals were tracking. That would sweeten the deal somewhat. YMMV.
Let us know if you find any other working promo codes and we’ll add it in.

anyone has idea when they will have a new round of similar sale?
As of today up to 3x on AA portal but no more promos ofc!
Thanks, worked for me on the second try with my Citi MC. I am just hoping my insurance still accepts these. Maybe Cap1 offers will also work, that would be peachy. Might try to buy a second set later.
Balance check isn’t working for me this morning. this site has gotten worse over time it seems.
Balance check never worked for me since this promo started. I used the giftcardmall site.
thanks. I didn’t know you could check these cards there. I like the format of giftcardmall a lot better too. giftcards.com changed formatting recently in their balance check and it seemed to be missing information if it even worked at all. like it would just say something generic like “online purchase” instead of the actual merchant/website name.
Seems like balance works at giftcards.com until the first time you use the card, then it returns with ‘no card with these details’..
Didn’t know about giftcardmall either, thanks.
I tried the balance check yesterday and it failed as well, however, if you call them at 877-944-3822 you can get the balance.
Confirmed that using BoA Customized Cash Rewards via Paypal credited for the online shopping category – which is 5.25% at the highest tier
Retailmenot also tracked for 1% cashback within about 12 hours
Needless to say, I will not be shopping here again. It has definitely left a sour taste in my mouth and then some. Completely ruined my week!
Can you use the Visa gift cards to buy more Visa gift cards?
No
What do you think?
Friendly reminder that these cards can’t be used in Paypal bill pay 🙁
Bought 3 more and drained to Safeco ins. Split the purchase in two ($100 and 2x $100) to complete the Paypal 300 bonus promo.
$8.64 cash back with BCE paying with Paypal. Confirmed
$3.00 (300 bonus) Paypal bonus Confirmed
$12.15 profit using $10 off promo codes
$11.51 cash back using Cap1 portal at 4% CB (login account portal not shopping portal). Tracked. This has paid in the past even without using Cap1 CC.
$35.30 profit assuming Cap1 cash back posts. $23.79 if it doesn’t.
I tried Rakuten and TCB, neither tracked, so I gave up.
I didn’t see i have a 7x$50 offer on PayPal for $14. Sigh. Looks like I’m buying 7x$50 BJs cards. Lol.
What would you have earned by just paying the bill directly with a CC? You need to subtract that out from “profit”. I assume that’s at least 2% or $6 if not more. Not to say that there isn’t value in doing the hoops and ladders if you can drain the cards immediately, but a lot of people try to add the CC rewards on the GC purchase without subtracting the loss of CC rewards when the GC is spent. Also maybe I’ve been unlucky with CO offers but that hasn’t tracked for me the past couple rounds. It used to always work for me over the years.
I earned 3% cash back with Amex BCE CC. Only way to warn 3% is by paying with PayPal and connecting the BCE as the payment.
Yeah I know. I was just saying I assume you have at least one run-of-the-mill 2+% cashback card that would have earned at least $6 in that $300 payment to the insurance directly. Since you pay the bill with these GC instead you don’t get that amount. So if you’re counting the CC rewards on the GC purchase, it makes sense to subtract out the loss of CC rewards when you spend the GC.
I guess I don’t think about it that way. Since I can’t liquidate these Gift cards, but spend them I think either I save $35.30 or $6 paying the bill.
I agree. Using the Staples no fee MC or VGC with Ink yields 5% and no work. use them for all places that have no bonus points. Great for take-out food, dentists, etc.
My options were:
1) Pay by ACH. No money lost or gained.
2) Citi Double Cash (CDC). 2% cash back to buy the cards, $1.92 cash back, $1.70 gain per $100 taxes paid (with fee, of course). No miles transfer partners. Total = $3.62.
3) AMEX BCE to buy the cards to pay the taxes. Again no transfer partners (I don’t have a premium AMEX card). $2.88 cash back (3%) per discounted $100 card, $1.70 gain per $100 taxes paid. Total earning per $100 = $4.58.
4) Use CapOne Venture X, 2x miles/$, to buy the cards. 191.9 miles, which can be transferred 1:1 to LifeMiles. $1.70 gain per $100 taxes paid. Value = ~$6.50.
5) Cardless Avianca card, 1x miles/$, to buy the card. 95.95 miles. $1.70 gain per $100 taxes paid. Value = ~$4.10.
If I didn’t have a LifeMiles CC SUB to achieve, definitely I’d have gone the AMEX route. But that’s an important point. In reality, each $95.95 spent on the LifeMiles card is worth an additional $37.31 since I’m working towards the SUB, although more like $31.34 since I have to take into the $250 annual fee into account.
