Kmart
Via MillionMileSecrets there’s currently an opportunity for Bank of America credit and debit cardholders to get 10% off up to $150 at Kmart with Bank AmeriDeals. Bank AmeriDeals is similar to Amex Offers where you save an offer on your Bank of America card before using it, and then you get the credit posted automatically to your account.
Kmart sells lots of gift cards too, so you should be able to buy those gift cards at a 10% discount. They also carry some lower denomination Visa and Mastercard gift cards, so depending what denominations you find, it could be worthwhile purchasing them.
Offer expires a few days into February.
Lowes
ChasingThePoints reported that there’s a similar offer from Bank AmeriDeals for Lowe’s. Up to $800 of spend and you’ll get 10% back. Lowe’s sells lots of gift cards too, including gas gift cards. They have Shell and BP, and I think Gulf as well. From memory, I don’t think they have Visa/Mastercard/Amex gift cards.
Offer expires Feb. 10, 2015.
This could be a great way to get a discount at your favorite gas station or restaurant. ChasingThePoints mentions the additional option of buying the gas gift cards and selling them to a gift card reseller. You’ll net a tiny profit, but you’ll be earning free credit card points in the process.

Conclusion
I don’t have any Bank of America credit or debit cards, so I can’t take part in these offers. These Bank AmeriDeals offers are making me eyeball Bank of America more. I’d guess that within the year I’ll add one of their cards to my collection.
Be sure to check your Bank of America account to see if you have these deals offered and to save the deals, before going to the store to use them.
FYI, went to a Lowe’s today and grabbed $800 in Shell gift cards, took them to the counter and the woman told me I could only buy them with debit or cash…?? Anyone else have this issue? Will try another location and report back.
I did not experience that – but I also went at a time when there wasn’t many people working there and went to the customer service desk
Sounds bizarre. I’ve bought gas gc with cc at Lowe’s before.
I got an offer from BoA for 5% Cash Back on Groceries/Gas Station/Restaurant for up to $500 spend. Nice little add if Kroger is correctly identified in their MCC list.
Nice! Easy $25 there. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t have Kmart or Lowes as my offers
I had thought they were available to all, but apparently it’s targeted. Will update.
You must register for the offer before the purchase to receive the credit.
Thanks for pointing out.
Lowes in central VA sell $200 Visa GCs
Wow! I’ve never seen that in my area. Good to hear.
That is awesome! Especially when Lowe’s is part of the Chase Freedom Quarter
Confirmed Lowes has Gulf, but gift card churning it isn’t profitable since it is in the mid 80’s last I checked.
Here’s an awesome resource from Dan’s Deals on all the gift cards available:

Yeah, I just meant for someone who uses Gulf gas.
That’s for the DD link. Nice list there.
