For folks who are also MyPoints members (and if you aren't already, it's free to join), here's a deal that can work out to about a 11% discount:
https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/la...try_ssl=1#mail
Buy a $75 travel card through MyPoints Store and get 1000 MyPoints bonus.
One MyPoint is worth about 0.8 cents if redeemed carefully, so the 1000 points could be redeemable for about $8.00. Example, you can get a $75 Marriott Travel Card for redeeming 9100 MyPoints, for a value of 0.824 cents per point. Other redemptions provide other values.
Of course, you'll have to earn more MyPoints to do redemptions like the example given.
Valid through February 15th. It's limited to two cards per order, so one can't load up; also there's a 50 cents per order shipping charge.
Interesting. The link you gave just takes you to Yahoo Email if you have an account. Won't show the specific email you received. Can you find a public link to the offer? On
this page, I'm seeing an offer to earn 450 MyPoints per $75 card, but you're saying you can earn 1,000 per card with this special offer. If so, you could buy 10 x $75 Marriott Travel Cards for $750, then get 10,000 MyPoints that you could turn right around and redeem for an additional $75 card, essentially buying $825 in Marriott credit for $750 (~9% discount), and have 900 MyPoints left over. Correct?
Thanks for the heads up on this!
