Where to buy Hyatt Gift Cards with Discover Apple Pay?
Is anybody aware of any brick and mortar stores that accept apple pay that also sell physical hyatt gift cards?
Would love to have a 22% off gift card for an upcoming stay.
Thanks in advance for any info provided (searched first but could not find anything)

"GIFT CARDS ARE EXCLUDED. Discover updated their terms on 9/18. No one can tell you for sure if it will be enforced, but most believe it will not."
From "SlickDeals"
My personal strategy is to purchase a gift card along with another small $ item so that the entire transaction is not identified as entirely a gift card. Don't know if it will work--but worth a try.

I understand their stated policy of exclusion and am banking on them not being the first company to be able to determine GC vs non GC purchases
Please let me know if any of you find any at B&M stores that take AP

Buy ebay GC using Apple Pay, use eBay GC to buy Hyatt GC (add additional eBay bucks in your discount calculation). BBY takes Apple Pay and sells eBay GC. Maybe Staples, others?

I bought a few hudered dollars from gift card spread recently for 16.5% off which is pretty good considering you get the discount instantly and dont have to wait half the year for the extra 10% and then also dont have to go into any B&M store...
I would do this again but wouldn't mind a few hundered at 22% as well if I happen to be in the neighborhood of AP stores
