Gift Card Mall Activation Website Down, Must Call 1-877-426-2551 to Activate VGCs

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone, as of 8am PT 7/23/2015, the Gift Card Mall activation website is down and is not allowing any Visa Gift Cards to be activated.  I purchased a few $200 VGCs last week from Staples.com and was trying to activate the gift cards online last night.  I got the below error message that says “We cannot process your request at this time.  Please try again or call 1-877-426-2551.”  After calling the below number (open from 8am-12am CT), the nice rep confirmed that their activation website has been down for a few days and that she could activate them all over the phone.

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone, it looks like AMEX forgot a few AMEX Offers yesterday (17 New AMEX Offers: Best Buy, HP, J.Crew, Petco, Chili’s, Souplantation, Zappos, Ebags, and Others) but here are the 3 newest offers to show up in my account: Office Depot / OfficeMax, Jacks Surfboards, and Simon Pearce.  Obviously, the best deal is $10 off $50 at OD/OM.  Doctor of Credit recommends trying to do a 4 way split payment on a $200 Visa Gift Card (your cashier / mileage may vary).

Good morning everyone, while we were sleeping, AMEX was busy launching several new AMEX Offers.  The offers include: Best Buy, HP, J.Crew, Petco, Chili’s, Souplantation, Zappos, Ebags, High Sierra, Jonathan Adler, Carters & Oshkosh, Wine Country Gift Baskets, Lumosity, Allen Edmonds, Boxed.com, Shoes for Crew, and Wine.com.  None of the AMEX Offers are amazing, but if you need to purchase something from some of these restaurants/merchants, you will save a few dollars.

Chime Card Cash Back Offers Return: $3 Cash Back from Amazon (7/15 Only)

Posted on by . 2 Replies

(Hat Tip to lochquel for alerting me to the change)

Good evening everyone, at the end of March, I wrote Chime Card Evolves and Removes Offers for Certain Users.  In that post, it looked pretty obvious that Chime removed all offers from users who only used the card for Chime cash back offers.  I was 100% guilty of that and understood where Chime was coming from.  Over the last few months, I totally forgot about Chime and never thought to log into my Chime account.  Thankfully, a reader alerted me to the change that Chime cash back offers are now showing up again.  The best offer is $3 for free from Amazon.  The offer is set to expire today (July 15).
