Two popular shopping portals have announced that they will no longer pay out cash back on Visa Gift Cards as of the end of this month. If you intend to place any orders that qualify for cash back, you only have a few days left.

As seen above, Yazing made this announcement via Twitter. That message is consistent with language on Top Cash Back that indicates payouts on Visa Gift Cards will end at the end of April.

It would be a reasonable assumption that this change will affect all of the shopping portals that pay out on Giftcards.com orders, so cash back on Visa Gift Cards will no longer be possible starting on 5/1/18. It looks like Mastercard gift cards will continue to pay out for the time being.

For those of us without access to Simon Malls and grocery stores that carry $500 Visa’s (that are drainable), what would you suggest going forward? Possibly ordering Simon gift cards online? What are your thoughts?
