TopCashBack is offering 7% cash back on Happy Gift Cards purchased from GiftCards.com. Note that you can only earn cash back on up to $2K in orders per month from GiftCards.com, so this will have limited use. Still, it could be a solid deal in some cases (and would stack with your credit card rewards and GiftCards.com rewards points).
The Deal

Key Terms
- Expiration date unknown
- Can earn rewards on up to $2,000 in purchases per month
Quick Thoughts
This could be an attractive deal in some circumstances, particularly because GiftCards.com sells Happy cards in denominations up to $500. Just keep an eye on the fine print as some of them say “online redemption required”, which means you or your recipient will need to swap the Happy card for a single-store gift card from the brands listed. Others say “enter payment as credit” and those will work like a credit card in-store where allowed.

I’m only seeing 5% cash back listed on Topcashback which is their standard rate and not the 7% mentioned in the article as a today February 14, 2021.
I purchased $2K of happycards back in ~Aug 2020 via Topcashback, at the regular 5% cashback rate. It tracked at 1%. (Happy cards were on sale at giftcards.com at the time). I filed a claim with TCB. I’ve followed up about once every 6-8wks. The most recent reply I got from TCB (~2 wks ago) is that they are “still working on it” and to have patience. I actually don’t expect to EVER get the advertised 5% cashback rate, and I don’t plan on using TCB with giftcards.com in the future.
FYI, for the past year, TCB would always track happy card purchases from giftcards.com at the 1% rate so you needed to file a claim afterwards. However, before this Aug 2020 purchase, I would file a claim with TCB and after a month or so, the cashback would be corrected to the 5% level.
I’ve had much better experience with Yazing, which also has happycards from giftcards.com at 5%. Yazing takes a 10% fee, but 4.5% cashback is >>>1% cashback from TCB.
Another anecdote about TCB – I purchased happy cards from giftcardmall when the TCB rate was 5%. It automatically tracked at 3%. When I filed a claim on TCB, I was told that gcm decided to not accept any claims, and thus my claim was closed and I would not be getting the advertised 5% cashback.
Finally, I still use TCB, just not for gc.com or gcm.com. They have great rates for some merchants, and they are fine as a shopping portal if the purchase automatically tracks.
Well that would sure stink. Yuck.
