Update 7/5/21: New code is INDEPENDENCE10. I tried the code early this morning after seeing Doctor of Credit post it and I got an error message saying the code had been used too many times. However, I saw a success report around 10am Eastern this morning, so I tried again and the code worked. This seems to work on up to $750 per order and up to $2K per day if you can get an order through. In a 2-player household, I had a couple of successful orders with one player. I ordered with the other player this morning and no cancellation email, but I’m not hopeful since the other orders went through within minutes and the new order hasn’t been delivered. YMMV – keep in mind that GiftCards.com is just nearly impossible for some people and there isn’t always a clear reason why, so don’t dismay if they cancel your orders.
GiftCards.com is offering 10% off on Virtual Visa Gift Cards with promo code INDEPENDENCEDAY10. This makes for an easily-profitable deal as long as you don’t mind virtual Visas.
The Deal
- GiftCards.com is offering 10% off on Virtual Visa Gift Cards with promo code INDEPENDENCEDAY10
- Direct link to this deal (our affiliate link; alternatively, click through a shopping portal)
Key Terms
- Expires July 4, 2021 (but almost certainly won’t last long at all)
- Max discount of $75 off $750 in cards per person
Quick Thoughts
This is an awesome deal if you don’t mind the virtual Visas. The discount comes off of the face value of the cards, not the activation fees. The virtual Visas can be loaded with a max of $250 each and they carry an activation fee of $5.95 each. Therefore, three $250 virtual Visas comes to $767.85 before the discount or $692.85 after.
That makes this an easy $57.15 win if you have a use for the virtual visas. For instance, I have an insurance bill to pay where this will straight up save me $57.15 — and I still earned credit card rewards by using my credit card to buy the Visas. I also clicked through a portal for 1x from Rakuten, though it would probably be smarter to read Stephen’s entire post at GC Galore before doing the deal so you’d be reminded to click through the United portal if you haven’t yet maxed out the shopping portal bonus for a player in your household. Doh!
At the end of the day, I can’t complain about free money. Nor will anybody else, so you’ve got to get in ASAP if you want this one as I imagine it won’t last long. I was about to go to sleep, but a free fifty-seven bucks got me up to do this deal and write about it — thanks be to Stephen Pepper for highlighting this one.

code used too many times
Regarding going thru United shopping portal: “This retailer is unable to reward you for purchases made on a mobile phone. To earn rewards for a purchase with this retailer, please visit the website on a computer.”
Worked for me! Thanks!
Has anybody had success checking out using PayPal Key? I was hoping to take advantage of the Discover 5% PayPal category, but instead received an error message at checkout when trying this.
Thanks for this great deal. Can I use AMEX Delta card to get my sign up bonus? (Will MEX charge cash advance fee?)
Dead.. “We’re sorry. This code has been used too many times.”
Can this be done multiple times?
Apparently, yes. I placed a second order and it went through.
I had issues with PPK MC last night and even my regular cash back MC. Due to lots of reports of continued issues with PPK, I just tried the same regular MC this morning and it was successful in a matter of minutes. When I did today’s order, I also used 3 different recipients and email addresses (also different from my own) which I didn’t do last night. Not sure if the different recipients helped get through their “screening process” or not.
Also, I went through Rakuten portal and already earned 768 Amex MR points.
All three of my recipients were the same person / email.
lemoney paying 5%. will see
Ordered an hour ago. Order hasn’t been cancelled yet, but cards haven’t been generated. Not sure if that’s a good sign or not.
Thanks for sharing this.
Mine were delivered 2 minutes after I ordered, but I don’t know what that means for you. I know many people get instantly canceled, so if you weren’t instacanceled, it’s at least better than that.
Odds that this giftcards.com deal will count towards min spend with AmEx?
Do you want to be waiting for the bonus to post and then checking your balance each day to see if they’ve caught it back yet? Me either, so I wouldn’t bother.
Can amex claw back MR from schwab somehow? Can your MR go negative?
Yes, I believe MR can indeed go negative. I doubt they can claw back the money once you’ve redeemed for a Schwab deposit, but I don’t know for sure.
Does amex at least allow regular points earning on these purchases? i.e. if i use my bbp can i expect to earn 2x?
Thanks for posting the deal Nick. Just purchased $750 and then made $750 worth of Kiva loans.
For about a month longer these cards are worth$255 when loaded to Amazon… great deal.
How does that work?
If this a loss leader to get people to use giftcardsdotcom, this is a heckuva loss.
