Anyone have advice on the best way to maximize cashback with Target.com purchases?
I have about $500 worth of shopping to do in the not so distant future. Raise has the best cashback for GCs in that price range (approx 6%) plus the TCB or BeFrugal gets you 2% CB on top of that.
But then there's the actual purchase on Target.com.
Cashback Watch says I can get as much as 6.3% Cashback and I think these CB website will work with GCs as long as you aren't using ShopDiscover (which requires a Discover card be used for the purchase)
If that doesn't work how about the REDcard which is linked to your checking account? Seems you get an automatic 5% off your bill but I wanted to make sure I would still get CB from the CB websites if I use the Redcard.
Looking for the Maximum Cashback is all. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

For maximum savings, buy discounted GC's, then use a portal. The RED card is 5% off of what's charged, not the total as what the cashback portals give you.

Depending on what you purchase could change your cashback rate on TopCashBack. If it does, then you should use a portal like Ultimate Rewards or ShopDiscover (the Discover card may or may not be required, you should test this out first).

So there's no problem using GCs with cashback sites? Merchants payout regardless of the payment method?

Much better deal elsewhere especially in the pdf land. No reason to pay a textbook that will be scarcely used for 3 weeks $100 when the author of said book gets at most $10.
