Our Verdict
This offer comes up periodically. Lately it’s only been working for the $100 denomination which makes it not very interesting given the $5.95 processing fee. You can buy three $100 Visa e-gift cards and get the full $15 discount. There will be a fee of $17.85 which is mostly offset with the $15 discount.
Stack with a shopping portal. Always check your Capital One shopping website and app to see if there are any special offers (I’m seeing 3%). We’re not yet seeing the promo code mentioned on shopping portals, but it can’t hurt to click through and use that instead of our above-mentioned affiliate link. Note: Giftcards.com sent out a memo to affiliates that the affiliates won’t get paid when customers use a promo code, so shopping portals probably won’t end up paying out either.

They’re still trying to find takers for these crap deals. Giftcards.com just sent out new 5% off $100 promo HOLIDAY5. One time use. $100 cards have $5.95 fee. Max $300 in cards.

I did buy 1 of these using USAA shopping portal. The visa gift card cost me 100.75. I get back $10 plus 1.5% on the portal and 2% on my credit card.
Did it track though?

It did track. I may not get paid but it was worth a shot. We shall see.
These guys definitely read DoC, last time it happened, they increased 5% to 10% after a week or two. Don’t buy them. Who in their right mind would pay 101$ for 100$?
“These guys definitely read DoC,”
“Now let me lay out the strategy to bypass their masterplan…”
Remember, they *need* to sell cards, we don’t *need* to buy. So even if their profit margin decreases, they might sell at a lower margin. They don’t have to sit on their cards just to snub a random guy on the internet.
Please charge me money to convert my fully fungible currency into somewhat less fungible plastic.
Was hoping to stack a giftcards.com discount with the 5% paypal category on my two freedoms, but this is a hard pass. You would be better off just paying bills.
Dead on Arrival
The only way to come out ahead would be using PayPal with freedom cards and hoping getting CB from portals. In short – don’t bother.
Gonna hold out for 2% off. Maybe next time.
Wait, you are telling me that I can pay $100.95 for a $100 prepaid card that is increasingly restricted in terms of where you can use it? SIGN ME UP! With the way the economy is right now, I feel like I am paying too little for goods and services so this will make me feel better knowing that I am paying more for things than what the store is charging.
