I am interested in purchasing
-Regal Movie Gift Card
-Chili's Gift Card
-Apple Bee's Gift Card
- Bath & Body Works Gift Card
There is currently a promotion Give Thanks to earn extra bonus points for purchase of gift cards. Do you consider this a good time to purchase gift cards to obtain most points OR Will these be around promotion closer to the holidays that has occurred in years past?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Here's something to consider, if you're buying one of each of those listed above:
During this time of year, before Christmas, Applebees and Chili's usually offer a bonus card for gift cards purchased at their brick and mortar stores.
Keep in mind a bonus card is more like a coupon than an actual gift card, and is usually usable after January 2nd.
From time to time around the holidays, Regal Cinemas have also offered a bonus card-- usually valid for a free soda or popcorn when you buy a gift card at one of their theatres.
I'm not really familiar with how it works with Bath and Body Works, but it's possible they also offer some sort of bonus card during the holidays.
If you redeem your points for Gift Cards from MyPoints, you won't see any of the Christmas promotional bonus cards these places offer.
Just something to ponder.
