There's also an option to have the funds deposited into your PayPal account instead of a paper check.

I don't use paypal and don't care about the american express points. I just wanted a check, but just not practical while traveling because the check is only valid for 30 days. But, it is what it is.

Seems like online price matching (by calling BB CS #) works fine for BB:

Partial refund (price match) credit posted -$27.XX posted Feb 17
Credit $100 posted Feb 23

HD purchase $57.XX posted Feb 17
Credit $50 posted Feb 23

BBY worked on gift card orders for Delta and Uber. Will be nice to use the Delta card on a cheaper airfare and stick with the airline credit.

Has anyone used a WineInsiders offer? I had a $30 off $30 purchase x 2 and spent $66 on 2/2. No email acknowledgement and still no credit. AmEx chat just tells me that if it qualifies, it will be credited and cite the usual terms of the offer of posting as late as X days after the expiration of offer. The text on the charge is "Hemisphere-wineinsdrglendale Ca" so not exactly straightforward for an automated system to pick up.

Thanks! So the most relevant was a purchase on Jan 6, 2021 with credit posted on Jan 18, 2021 (12 days). I have a feeling I'm going to have to beg for mine to be credited as it's now up to 24 days.

Wineinsiders had an offer a few years ago and I remember a couple people saying they were having issues getting the credit. I wish the purchase minimum shipping and I'd try ordering. Seeing how high the shipping is I'm better off using another winery whose wines I love and using the chase PYB offer on it.

Was able to use both of them but definitely want to read the terms and conditions on that one....WineInsiders seems to look for reasons not to credit. With that said on each order they send a $25 off $75 coupon so I spent $85 on the 2nd one and it actually combined for $55 off. Credit delay time was normal....about 12 days

Similar offer here (Platinum and Gold), but for $100 back instead of 10K MR.

I''m not impressed with the wines I've tasted so far and I would not have ordered but for the offer which, if credited, is essentially free ($60 credit on $66 purchase).

Thanks, I did carefully read the T&C to ensure there should be no hiccup. That doesn't mean they won't try to let it slide if I don't push it.
