So a bunch of supermarkets are selling the Five Back card this week with a $10 discount, so you can get a $200 card for $196.95. The doctorofcredit website has some of the details. That's nice enough with a good grocery store bonus credit card, but it's obviously better if you can take the Five Back card to CVS and then buy a $500 gift card to get the 5% back. I did this, but the cashback didn't post to the gift card in the 48-hour period it's supposed to post. I called Blackhawk yesterday to complain, and they opened "a ticket" on my claim. So far, still no cashback. Has anyone else had experience with this? The card seems like a bit of a sham if the cashback doesn't actually work.

EDIT: Ha! Martig4 addressed my problem as I was typing my post. Thanks. We'll see what happens!
