Quick Thoughts
This deal makes a gift card purchase profitable even before taking into account other credit card rewards. The Mastercards have a $5.95 purchase fee, so the net cost of a $250 card will be $243.45 after using the promo code…a profit of $6.55 per card. These deals are usually only good for digital giftcards, but this time it’s valid on both digital and physical Mastercards (do note that physical cards have a higher $6.95 fee and will be subject to shipping charges as well).
Its also possible to earn rewards through a shopping portal – check here for the current rates. The best option right now might be to use one of the airline shopping portals since they all have a holiday spending bonus that requires hitting certain thresholds that are easily done with this promo.

Do be aware that some portals will occasionally deny earnings when using a discount code on GCC that’s not listed on the portal site. Last month, I had the AA Portal try to deny the regular portal earnings, even though I used a code that WAS on their site. Luckily, I took screenshots of everything and so was able to prove that the code was there. Interestingly enough, even though I’m having to fight with them over the regular earnings, the spending bonus was awarded, no questions asked.
Portals will often start to add discount codes towards the end of a GCC sale, so it might be worth waiting a couple of days to see if one of the above codes shows up. We’ll update this post if we see that one does.
