Our Verdict
I assume this deal is at Office Max too. Use a card that earns bonus rewards at office supply stores.
Hat tip to GC Galore
Just stopped at an Office Depot in Chicago. Purchased two happy lady’s in separate transactions back to back, each for $90. No issues and cashier didn’t care. I didn’t enter an od Rewards number or anything.
I’ll use these for actual goods at buy buy baby (Baby and bed bath beyond use the same POS system and allow each other’s cards) or will buy gift cards for other stores or I’ll cash out at Panera for a Panera gift card during bonus time and will load the Panera card into mypanera app so I can easily run it down.
I’ve had no issues with using these cards anywhere they’re supposed to be used, just say “credit” to the cashier and swipe. Don’t make a big deal of it because you don’t need to confuse them unnecessarily.
Also note that you can return items and funds can go back into happy gift card balances. I’ve returned a Home Depot item and it went back into balance and was viewable online.
Avoid these dumb fixed-value CREDIT cards, especially with a lousy 10% discount. The problem is emptying them – you need to spend to the exact penny to empty them – thus you end up leaving a balance that’s a pita to deal with. I bet Happy card issuers are enjoying huge breakage. Don’t know why DoC continually posts these dumb offers….
Because some people manage to get a $28 pure profit margin (incl. CC points) out of every two Happy GC’s that they transform into a single $200 VGC?
I for one am “happy” 😉 whenever I see these deals…
Username does NOT check out.
The title of the thread is misleading. The deal is actually $10 off purchase of $100 or more. So you can buy a variable card for $105.95 or $206.95 or whatever.
Even if you had to buy a fixed card, you can still pay the $5.95 or whatever in cash or with a regular cashback CC
You don’t know why these deals are posted? Because YOU find them dumb and it’s all about you? Guess what, other people with different opinions read these posts. Get over yourself.
Can I get 5% back on these using the Amex SimplyCash Plus Business Credit Card?
Yes.
Thank you!
For those in Southern California, there is a better deal on Happy Guy right now at Stater Brothers supermarkets. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ca-stater-bros-buy-50-in-select-giftcards-get-10-in-free-groceries-lowes-nike-happy-guy-more/
Of course they omit Happy Guy
They know what were doing.
The manager just applied the discount manually today for happy guy.
Purchased $100 happy teen card and flipped at barnes and noble for shell gas cards. Thanks Doc!
Also used my chase biz for 5%
I’m in Atlanta. In my experience any gift card you attempt to buy with them $100+ they will ask to see the card and your driver’s license. I try not to do that too much because they often call the manager up to the register too. There is one within 5 miles of me so I dont mind multiple trips or if they have more than one cashiers I try to get in line again to use up the card in one go. Never know when they will say NO.
The happy lady has worked for me at BBB, although, I havent tried in a while.
Can you buy other (3rd party) GCs with these at Lowe’s??
None of the Happy GC is valid at Lowe’s so it’s a moot point. But it would be valid if it was. Was able to use the Discover Hardware Stores GC at Lowe’s to purchase 3rd party GC.
I used happy gift cards for $200 visas at home depot. Works like a credit card.
Did a Kroger grocery store promo a while back $10 off $50 Happy Cards (all versions).
This offer is overrated.
lol
for $50 Happy Cards, it’s not worth it. I can see why you feel that way.
Depends, really. $50 Happy Guys are useful for buying gas cards at Home Depot, for example.
There’s a current Amex Offer for Happy, too.
Won’t stack obviously
Never mind…just realized you have to purchase from Happy’s website to get the AmEx offer. Duh…
Why the heck is happy gift card? Some gift cards at message parlors?
I input a link in the post there where you can find more details.
Happy endings gift card is not part of the promotion.
