OD changed their mind! i know the mgr....will sell up to $3k in $200 increments...thoughts on making this smoother....with UR + cash...11.55% return...not bad ..can't get all the $15 off without multiple transactions(max there $200)...I can tell Chase I need the individual receipts for bookkeeping....any positive thoughts on how to handle tis better? I have not done this yet....thinking about not ruining this for everyone...

so just to dbl check OM doesnt allow multiple discounts in the same transaction, i.e. 3x $100 = $30 off for this promo anymore?

The problem you will run into is that Chase will lock your card after every few swipes. You'll have to clear the fraud alert, but otherwise you should be good. Sounds like you have a nice set up. You might want to check your math on the return though. 11.55%? Are you valuing URs at 2cpp?
No, it appears they fixed their coupon to adhere to the limits.

it worked on sunday, stopped working on monday. Just because something is in the terms doesnt make it true. After all, you are getting points on your credit card by buying these gift cards arent you

Man.. I've been reading this thread for like 3 days, and I keep wondering why you people kept talking about OM when the thread is about OD.
I finally went looking at the ad and it just hit me that they are using the same ad now.
When did this happen. How the heck did I not know... doh...

Where I live, it is only the variable-load GCs that are cash-only at OD. The fixed-value ones, like the ones we're discussing, are signed as "cash, debit or credit" and I buy them with CCs like they're going out of style. This is in the upper Midwest. Where are these cash only?
