Bought with Chase Southwest. 1 card, 1k balance.
No shipping cost btw. To be honest, for people that like to maximize value, obviously AmEx GC through a portal is going to be better. I personally don't do portals, I'd rather pay a bit of money and not have to worry about tracking issues, waiting for payments, liquidating AmEx GC, etc.
So maybe this keeps some life.
I can see how Metabank gets some value. They don't have to split any money with the merchant. With a cheap enough agreement with the postal service it probably pays off a bit for them.
