Chase Gift Cards:
GAME OVER

We’re sorry, but we no longer offer Chase Gift Cards.

We will continue to honor current Chase Gift Cards. If you have a Chase Gift Card, you may continue to use it until the funds are depleted or upon card expiration.
If your existing Chase Gift Card has been damaged, lost or stolen, you can redeem the balance or get a replacement Card by calling us at
1-866-466-0079, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Use that number if you have questions about your existing Chase Gift Card.

$500 max value per card

Can be used as debit
Call # on card to set pin

There are some limitations to using gift cards as opposed to debit cards, but these are functioning very well as debit cards. So please follow the number one rule of manufactured spend: DON"T CALL THE BANKS.

$3.50 is still better than $3.95 for ice cream.

It is still live, but there is also now another site (www.chasegiftcard.com) that has the same gift cards except with fees. I suspect the old link will be taken down without warning or simply re-direct to this new site.

Just curious, even with no fees, isn't Amex GC's through Topcashback still a more economical way to go?

Not sure about the math, but AMEX GCs are more difficult to liquidate than any other GCs. I assumed many are converting it to VISA/MC GCs thru a shopping portal to reduce the loss...or possibly to VR equivalents by eating up the loss. AP, sure, but some argue that using the AP for liquidation purpose is simply a waste since it won't earn points.

That's not a new site. Just a different URL to use if you want to register the card and track transactions. Two completely different functions.

Yeah that site has been up for a while - at least as long as I've been buying CGCs.

You're right. Upon checking my account, I saw the order I placed on the morning of the 1st actually has the transaction date on the 2nd, and posted on the 3rd.

Amex GC via TCB is the most economical/profitable way to churn I have found so far.

TCB will give you 2% on your order plus you get cashback/miles/points via the card you use. Using VRs will cost you 0.8% in fees. Grocery Store bought GCs will cost you 1%. HIGC will cost you nothing (while they last).

Edit to Add
Your grocery store or gas station may give you fuel points for GC purchases which sweetens the deal even more.

Can someone please confirm whether the $2600.00 limit is per rolling (30-day) month or calendar month? I'm seeing conflicting reports here on FT.

And it is definitely $2600 per card, correct?

I like these for loading to Target Amex. Not as profitable as AGC -> HIGC -> MO, but still making a profit.
