ShopAtHome

Using the ShopAtHome cash-back portal, I tested the approach of getting 1.6% back for selling gift cards to CardPool.com.  Amazingly, not only did this work, but I received 1.6% of the gift card’s face-value which is more than 1.6% of the amount I sold the gift card for!  Has anyone else tried this?  I’m curious whether this was a mistake on their part? By the way, I received a check from CardPool just a few days after I sold the gift card.  Nice!

Hao: ShopAtHome gives cash back for CardPool.com purchases and sales.

Steve: Yes $250 out of pocket would be a small price to pay for the miles and MQMs! I’ll continue to publish ideas for increasing credit card spend so stay tuned in case gift card buying/selling isn’t enough.
