Update 8/23/23: Giftcards.com is back on airline shopping portals. The EOS10OFF promo code is listed on many – or possibly all – portals, so that seems to be the best code to use. We’ve also added EOSSAVE as an additional promo code.

Quick Thoughts
Giftcards.com charges a $5.95 purchase fee on $100 Virtual Visa gift cards, so getting a $10 discount means you make $4.05 profit per card before any kind of costs you had liquidating the cards in one way or another. With a limit of six per order, maxing that out means you’ll make $24.30 per order on top of your credit card rewards and any shopping portal rewards/cashback that tracks and pays out.
Speaking of shopping portals, those usually only seem to track for deals such as these when they list a specific promo code. The three codes listed above are working for the discount right now, but we sometimes see additional promo codes popping up on shopping portals. In those instances, using the code listed on the portal you’re planning on clicking through from is the best way to go. At the time of publishing this, only the EOS10OFF code is showing on the portals I checked, so it’s best to stick with using that one for now.
In case you’re wondering, buying denominations larger than $100 in order to reduce the purchase fees doesn’t seem to work. I added a $100 card to my cart along with two $250 cards to make a total of $600 which could, in theory, trigger the maximum discount of $60. Unfortunately it only took off $10 for the one $100 card I had in the cart, so you’ll want to buy six $100 cards if you want to max this out for each order you place.

Stephen,
Thanks for the post on this. I purchased 24 of these. I am having a heck of a time using them. So far, I can only purchase amazon gift cards to then load to my amazon account. I like to purchase other gift cards with these so I can use the full value and to have the ability to combine them. Orders from staples and sam’s club for target and sam’s gift cards get cancelled. Do you have a list or suggestion of where I can use these? I’ve checked the billing address and everything checks out. Not sure why they keep getting cancelled!
I think it should be possible to use them in the Fluz app
That did not work for me. I get some error after entering my address, something about a “bin” something.
I was able to purchase an e-walmart gift card which was supposed to deliver electronically, but somehow it is shipping to me instead. Very strange.
I’m now getting “We’re sorry. This code has been used too many times.” on all the codes (I hadn’t even used all of them yet). Are the codes not working anymore?
They’ve sold out at the moment. These VGC deals from Giftcards.com often come back in stock though, so hopefully they return before the stated expiry date of September 4.
Maybe a stupid question…can any single discount code be used more than once on the same giftcards.com account? Wonder about any restrictions on the giftcards.com side. I have always stuck to just using each code once
I think you might have to give it 48 hours or something like that, but I’m not certain on that front. Try buying without logging in though, as that seems to help skirt the limits.
Just got an Amex Green card. Is it risky to use it to buy gift cards in a deal like this to satisfy the spending requirement? Thanks.
YES!!!
Don’t do it for MSR, you’re at a risk of losing the SUB if a human looks at your account.
I purchased 6 $100 cards and went through AA shopping. Received an email that my order is tracking but fingers crossed that I actually get the points. Can this deal be done more than once?
DP: Using discount code EOS10OFF, Top Cashback tracked at 1.05% of $540, which is the value of the gift cards less fees and discount. AAdvantage eShopping, which is offering 3x AA miles but does *not* show any of the discount codes, has not tracked (so far) for an identical order using EOS10OFF.
AA tracked for me when using that code last night.
My order (6x $100) keeps getting canceled. 🙁
Is this happening to anyone else?
I tried 2 times with different emails.
No. You might check your credit card. I got a fraud alert from Barclays, I can see why suddenly buying $600 in gift cards might seem suspicious. Fortunately I confirmed on time and the sale went through.
Thanks for the reply, but I don’t think that’s the reason.
Both order went through at first (didn’t receive any fraud alert), and immediately received another email from Giftcard.com saying “Hi XXX, We had to cancel your order #******** because it didn’t pass our screening process.”
So I believe the issue is on the Giftcard.com side, for me at least.
Sorry to hear that. I don’t know what the secret sauce is, then. P2 and I each have an account and have bought easily over $10k from GCC, on multiple cards. Never any problem on payment, delivery, tracking or use — with the exception that I’ll never use the United portal again.
Same happened to me, on 2 different cards, goes through then the cancellation email comes basically instantaneously with the order email
Exactly… Bummer
Even worse, when I follow their link to “Review The Order Information” for the order they keep cancelling (after approving the order) I get a 500 error on the webpage they send me to. This must be nice if it works but it sucks pretty majorly otherwise.
I’ve gotten the same message several times. I changed to a different email and a different server, and got one to go through. Frustrating.
Yeah, such a hassle 🙁
GiftCards.com is back on AA Advantage Shopping as well as others!!!

Is true is true! So far I’ve only received 3 out of the 6 cards I purchased, so here’s hoping it’s just a delay…
All good. For some reason the other 3 went to Promotions.
Go 3% on Capital One. I have to use my Capital one card though correct?
If it’s through the Capital One Shopping portal you can use any card.
Stephen, does this usually work if paying with VGC or MCGC from Staples?
I’ve not tried using those before
How do you liquidate the gift cards?
Well I used to liquidate gift cards by making my BMW car loan payments, but recently they stopped accepting gift/credit cards.
wish i would have read this before purchasing, that really sucks!
It’s not quite liquidation, but I’m sitting here feeding gift cards into my student loan servicer’s phone system (Aidvantage).
What is the way to use these virtual card on offline stores ?
Giftcards.com takes Apple Pay now. You can pay using Discover / Apple Pay and get 5% cashback rewards (up to 1500/quarter).
great find!
Thanks for the info! I assume this would also work with Apple Pay and US Bank Altitude Reserve for 4.5% cashback when used for travel.
Do NOT try to use US Bank Altitude Reserve with Apple Pay on GiftCards.com unless you want to roll the dice on your relationship with US Bank. US Bank is quick and ruthless with the (permanent) ban hammer on anyone they suspect is using the Altitude Reserve to buy gift cards with Apple Pay. Using Apple Pay at GiftCards.com doesn’t leave one much in the way of plausible deniability.
$24.95? Is it really worth it to me? Not really…..Peace and Love from Big Ern
I’d rather just buy no fee $200 VGCs from Staples with my INK card and get UR at ~2cpp.
Seems they’re trying to see who will bite at $100 denomination, wavering between 5-10% discount. For me it’s not worth the time and YMMV nature of CB portals.
Both methods work for me 🙂 I love the 3x American Airlines miles through their shopping portal plus 2x AMEX or Capitol One points depending on which credit card I use. Much tougher to generate AA points than other point currencies so I prefer to use the AA shopping portal when possible.
I agree handling multiple $100 gift cards is a hassle. I added them to my Amazon gift card balance to consolidate the funds and avoid the hassle of dealing with multiple low-value cards. The extra $24.95 is an added sweetener to the deal. What’s not to love 🙂
Can you use the AA select card to purchase and get 5x AA miles? 3 from AA portal and 2 for AA purchase ?
You can pay with the AA Platinum Select card, but that would only earn 1x rather than 2x on top of the 3x from the shopping portal.
also often 1.5% from Citibank shopping
Fair enough, although it’s $24.95 multiplied by however many times you want to do the deal over the course of the next couple of weeks.
If you have Ink card earning 5x, yeah sure, that might be a better deal but a deal like this comes in handy if you are working to meet spending requirement to earn welcome offers on different cards or you rather have cash back instead of UR points or don’t value points at 2cpp. $24.95 plus portal cash back
