I came across this website and have been reading about sites like BigCrumbs and the Amex GC Store etc... Do you guys know how to earn cash back at places not considered supermarkets? The supermarket is the only one that concerns me because when it comes to gas I'm ok and the pharmacy stores like CVS and Walgreens I'm good too. Just groceries.. I would get the preferred instantly if I can make it work.
I've never seen a Wal-Mart gift card at any grocery store. I have purchased many other gift cards at grocery stores and received the 6% cash back.
