Developing Story: Sam’s Club Gift Cards Now Adding Shipping Costs ($6.06-$53.83)

(Hat Tip to Manhar for the email)

Good evening everyone.  Earlier today, I read Doctor of Credit’s post about Sam’s Club: Gift Cards Gone AWOL, Credits Posting & More.  It seems like Sam’s Club is having some difficulties handling their AMEX Offer.  Then a few minutes ago, I received an email alerting me to changes in the gift card shopping experience.  It looks like Sam’s Club is now adding shipping costs to orders of Sam’s Club Gift Cards.  That ain’t right!

After adding a $50 Sam’s Club Gift Card to my shopping cart, I entered my zipcode for Northern California and the estimated shipping was $6.06.  Previously, all gift card shipments were free.

iTunes AMEX Offer Update: Statement Credits and Shopping Portal Bonuses Posted

(Hat Tip to Racerboy80 for confirming both bonuses posted)

Good morning everyone, TGI Friday!  A few days ago, I posted AMEX Offers: Free $5 from iTunes and Free $10 from Rhapsody.  The offer was pretty good, spend $5 on iTunes and get a $5 statement credit.  Some people reported getting a better AMEX Offer that said spend $10 on iTunes and get a $10 statement credit.  I went through Ebates and purchased a $10 iTunes eGift Card.  Would both actions earn cash back?

PSA: Don’t Buy US Bank Visa Gift Cards from Ralphs / Kroger

Good morning everyone, a few days ago, I was at a local Ralphs (Kroger) grocery store in Huntington Beach, CA and bought a $500 Visa Gift Card (issued by US Bank).  I have bought many Visa gift cards before (including the specific gift card design below) and have not had any problems.  Well, my streak has finally come to an end and it was a big pain in the butt to fix.
